I already do BYOD in my classroom. One thing I do is challenge students to discover the answers to their own questions.
I wish Starkville would do a 1:1 program. There is so much I could do if all students had a computer! I could completely cut out PAPER! How exciting would that be?
I looked up my school's "Use of Electronics Devices" policy, and it was written exactly as I had remembered it. "The use of electronic devices is not permissible on campus during operating school hours, except for classroom use for instructional purposes with prior approval from the principal." Our principal has given us permission; however, we must always be able to justify technology use as increasing student learning outcomes. This is the important part, because technology availability does not equate with student learning outcomes. What matters is the manner in which the technology is used.
In art, I glued my painting to mat board. Just waiting on glue to dry is like waiting on paint to dry!
