At EdcampCT this past week, I was chatting with Greg McVerry ( @jgmac1106 ) about devices, 1-1 and BYOD and he made an interesting comment. Instead of a school purchasing an iPad and keyboard for all the students, what about a Chromebook and Nexus 7 for each student? This post originally appeared on Educational Technology Guy.

A few weeks ago, I made a commitment to visit schools that are using social media, smartphones, texting, and other digital technologies, as a vital part of daily classroom instruction. The only criterion that I had was the school had to be entrenched in their use of the above-mentioned technologies.

Part of the delay is that it takes time to figure out an effective workflow with new technology. One of my students, Matt D.,

When the teacher asked why she couldn’t get to “insertwebsite.com” and her kids were arriving in 15 minutes for the first BYOD pilot class, I took my first deep breath of the morning…. The second call came about 8:25… She was still trying to get students logged into their devices… A technology specialist and a tech were trying to assist….

Recently, I found myself entangled with several people in a Twitter debate about whether BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies actually perpetuate or aggravate the digital divide our students currently experience. Having a BYOD policy would seem to perpetuate the divide between the tech-haves and tech-have-nots.

While most of the world has been and is being transformed by technological advances — more numerous and more diverse than data storage — there’s at least one part of our modern society that seems to be lagging behind: the educational system. Technology is there. Technology is a tool , not a mastermind. Why is that?

The Background Photo Used Under a Creative Commons License In the Spring of 2013, my school district committed to issuing an iPad to every classroom teacher. Most of the iPads would be in the hands of teachers by the end of the semester. We were about to distribute iPads to 800 teachers. Time was of the essence.

And patching the gash between the technology haves and have-nots might require a more substantial remedy than a band-aid. It’s happening elsewhere, too, like at Virginia Union University, an HBCU that gave about 400 freshmen iPads this fall , to keep. It is ensuring all students have an opportunity to graduate.”

‘Technology in education’ has become the buzz phrase for cutting edge classes that are plugged into the latest education trends. Not surprisingly, it takes a lot more than a room full of computers, iPads, and apps to turn “tech ed” from marketing to mainstream. How knowledgeable are teachers about technology?

Below I have listed 10 pros and cons of BYOD: PROS: 1) The devices are excellent learning tools which bring a lot to the classroom. 5) BYOD leads to more copying and pasting. What happens if another student breaks an iPad?

You can use Microsoft Office or LibreOffice on an iPad , Android Tablet, Chromebook or any device with a web browser. This makes things platform/OS agnostic and would allow everyone access to these apps and resources and would be especially useful in a BYOT/BYOD environment.

Finally, cell phones have become a small version of a computer be it a laptop, Chromebook, or iPad (especially an iPad). Schools with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs find a noticeable percentage of students bring mobile phones as their device. Do be sure they realize a wide variety of technology is part of your class.

Another conclusion was that the technology wave is not slowing, and won't go away.

teachers were stressed out about logging in to the point where some would just give up on using technology and go back to their regular pen and paper process. In his 16 years of working in IT, Tam Nguyen has grown uncomfortably familiar with these types of calls and the resulting reluctance of teachers to adopt new technologies.

The device is usually offered by the school, but with the spread of BYOD programs, this no longer stands true all the time. The concept of 1:1 has been around for quite a while, but didn’t quite catch on until recently, the major driver behind this being the increasing availability of devices and general change in education.

Whether in a BYOD, one-to-one, or one-to-few device environment, educators can leverage technology to allow every student to share what they know, think, feel and understand in a meaningful way. Using technology inside and outside of the classroom not only gives students an opportunity to speak but also gives them a chance to be heard.
