Why begin a BYOD program?
Why begin a BYOD program?
1) It's personal. When a student has their own chromebook there is increased familiarity and ownership.
2) We can bridge between formal (in-school) and informal (beyond classroom) learning.
3) Opportunities for student choice in learning and demonstrating learning can occur when every student has a device.
4) Access to digital content and digital learning environments become readily available and these can provide multiple pathways to learning.
5) Cost and sustainability: eventually the school division can focus on providing the infrastructure (highway) instead of also purchasing the cars (chromebooks) for students.
