Today we launch right in with a topic that is on the minds and hearts of many teachers – the “digital divide”; that silent, pernicious socioeconomic gap between students that have and students that do not have access to technology. Now, however, access to technology is becoming a rights issue. Digital divide: facts and figures.

Schools with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs find a noticeable percentage of students bring mobile phones as their device. Many schools that tried to ban them are now lifting that ban (like New York City did in 2015) opting instead to allow schools to establish policies that work for their unique student group. And why not?

When will we see taking mobile technology away from our students in the same light? Schools out there will talk about how they have access to a few desktops in the classroom, or are able to bring in carts, but not necessarily using a BYOD model because they are worried about the inequity that it would bring.

Technology clearly plays a role, but it's not the driver. Technology, in this context, is the accelerator. Which technology is right for your school or district? You can answer "yes" if you believe the process won't require substantive alteration in order to be useful as new technologies and trends enter the workspace.
