BYOD
Cell phones/mobile devices in the high school

Laptops (and other devices)
 * Red Lion is piloting with several teachers (honors & AP classes). Planning to move forward 4th marking period and opening it up to the rest of the High School to work out the bugs before next year.
 * How does this impact teachers & instruction? What changes need to occur to address...
 * Multiple devices and platforms...troubleshooting? battery power?
 * Kids forget, don't have access and your lesson is dependent on the device
 * Dallastown began BYOD at the High School this year. Not a huge response (too heavy, worry about being stolen/broken, etc). Seeing no more than maybe 5 devices per class.
