Instead of a school purchasing an iPad and keyboard for all the students, what about a Chromebook and Nexus 7 for each student? A Chromebook starts at $300 and the Nexus 7 starts at $200. Account management is very easy with the Chromebooks and Nexus 7 using Google accounts for each student. That''s a great deal.

The goal of digital equity is to ensure that all students have access to devices, high-speed internet, and opportunities to learn both in school and out. One of the struggles in Wisconsin is digital learning days, where students with limited or no access to WIFI at home cannot access their education.

As a huge #edcamp fan, I’m down for some self directed PD as a break from the overwhelmingness that can be CUE. IT stuff like wireless access, chromebooks and Google Apps domains come to mind. That is sure to be an awesome amazing show. There are a few topics I’d like to talk about that aren’t on the schedule.

They didn’t have Genius Hour, 20% time, Chromebooks, Google Apps, Kahoot, iMovie, podcasting or even Flipped Classrooms. They’re challenging kids in new and innovative ways, that push their thinking and open access to programs that have the power to engage their entire student body. Anyone.anyone…? And let them create. And fail again.

Ease of access tip : “star” your tracker so it’s easy to find in Drive, as well as share it with your personal Gmail accounts for access from any device. She has presented at FETC, the EdTechTeam Low Country Summit, and EdCamps. I use Calendar Appointment for two main purposes.

Tired of the long lines to access the school copy machine? Easy answer(s) is to contact your building/district coach, talk to your PLN, connect with a G+ Community, lurk or join Twitter Chat, attend a conference or edcamp. Annoyed with consistent paper jams? Wish your students were more attentive and engaged more often?

The key is good fiber between buildings and good cable into the classrooms for the Access Points. We installed a Meraki Access Point in every classroom. Of course chromebooks and iPads (or android tablets) are out there. I would advocate for any mobile device solution that put access into every student’s hands.
