Back in 2009 when we began to transform teaching and learning at New Milford High School we were extremely fortunate at the time to have wireless Internet access throughout the school. Access to the Internet allowed us and our students to harness and leverage thousands of free tools to support teaching and learning as described above.

Luckily change came in the form of a little blue bird that gave me the kick in the butt that I desperately needed back in 2009. Students now have access to over 250 unique courses that cater to their interests. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) implemented in 2011. It was a huge problem for us. See what CBS New York had to say.

I think such courses aren’t open in the sense that they limit access based on the ability to pay. Still such courses can offer considerably wider access to higher education than the traditional model. If I was asked I would say that the BYOD trend will continue to increase. Nothing new in the LMS space.
