Technology seems to be involved nowadays in most aspects of education and many schools are adopting it quite well, whether it’s adopting BYOD initiatives, blended learning, flipped classrooms , creating content using authoring tools, or using a learning platform. Why are some educators still reluctant to using technology the classroom?

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.

Not only are there school-mandated devices, but the rise of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) linked to the school’s network has the potential to cause major strain on a school’s IT system, both from campus and at home. Emerging technologies require teachers, students, and IT teams to develop new skills.

And let me tell you something: technology has no place there! But we live in a digital era, and our kids are exposed to technology every day. Kindergartens and schools introduce BYOD policies and work with electronic devices on a regular basis. I am a parent, I love the Montessori philosophy, and I also like technology.

Technology still gets a bad rap in many education circles. This ends up resulting in the formation of rules and policies that severely restrict or prohibit student use of mobile technology and social media as tools to support and/or enhance learning. Perception and lack of information influence the decision making process. Here we go!

After addressing their concerns a student brought up how much she, and others, appreciated the fact that we allow them to bring their technology to school. This meant the world to me, as many know that I have worked hard with my staff to initiate a meaningful Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program.

After three years of utilizing a BYOD (bring your own device) policy with my classes at Nassau Community College, I have seen how tools like tablets and laptops can lead to better academic engagement. Access to connectivity is vital to a successful classroom BYOD policy, so these issues are largely taken care of by an institution.

As we continue to move further to enhance our Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative at New Milford High School we are continuing to look for cost-effective resources to support this endeavor. It can also be used to establish study groups called "cells" where a constant activity stream is generated. One such resource is Celly.

Courses and groups are used to communicate with students, classmates, and teachers. Students work in groups. Each group decides the direction of their project. If they go through the formal process of removing a student from the group, the students has to do the project alone. With PBL and BYOD, everything changes!

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.

BYOD — Bring Your Own Device — has gained some momentum in today’s education system. From temp teachers to entire school districts, more and more educational staff debate about or seriously consider the adoption of BYOD in their instruction. We can no longer overlook the importance of the use of technology in schools.

Adam Fletcher writes: Student advocacy has a long history going back to at least the 1930s when a youth-led group called the American Youth Congress presented a list of grievances to the US Congress including public education. This is not a new concept in any sense. To start the school year, allow students to co-create classroom rules.

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?

If tech support is not a line item in a budget, the technology plunge might be a scary one. Once you’ve gathered a group of students, determine the types of services you will offer.
