Challenging the Model of 1:1 with BYOD | Edutopia
This year my school district in Vermont ventured into a sort-of BYOD/1:1 hybrid program. We realized the importance of allowing our students access to technology to enhance their learning, but the infrastructure wasn't in place to tackle a traditional BYOD. .. Instead, we chose to be creative with our technology and professional development.

- We used money from our technology budget and constructed a model to supply teachers with a mix of mobile devices, mostly laptops and iPads, and teachers applied to take part in a mixed device technology-integration pilot program.
- like a traditional 1:1 program, devices are spread to students throughout the room, but instead of each student receiving an assigned device, classes are left to select the appropriate tool for every assignment.
- Teachers are now free to explore innovative and creative ways to structure their time, activities, lessons and interactions with students.
- we start each meeting with the curriculum goals and content, and then we brainstorm ways that we can enhance the content by using these new tools
- Rather than have our teachers sit through in-service presentations on how to effectively integrate their new devices, we decided to work together to find the best ways to use the devices with their students and their curriculum.
- This collaborative, co-teaching model has allowed for us to find connections across content areas, classes and our district.
