ATLIS 2017

Our handling of technology in schools impacts opportunity for diverse students and families. Differences in ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomics, language, religion, ability, and other exceptionalities require concerted efforts in implementing effective technology use in schools. While Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs provide multiple benefits for students and faculty, how can we ensure that these benefits are in keeping with increased opportunity and equity for all students? Using a case study format, this session will examine how to bring in all community stakeholders in designing a BYOL program with equity as one of its driving goals.
