Students are able to learn firsthand about responsible use of technology and how to navigate the Internet in a safe way. #BYOD helps students utilize tech tools to support their learning and realize we can do more with our devices than simply play games and socialize #BYOD

School budgets are already limited as it is. When students #BYOD schools no longer need to provide tech for the students. Funding can be put into other aspects of the school community!

When students participate in #BYOD initiatives, teachers are able to provide them with personalized content students can engage with at their own pace

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

Collaboration is a key component in student success. BYOD initiatives also allow students many opportunities to interact and work with their peers on projects. Student can become active learners and take accountability for their learning

#BYOD helps make learning a part of students’ lives. It bridges the gap between learning at school and at home! Students can have these devices integrated into their daily lives

Introducing programming to students is a great way to encourage problem-solving while making content relatable for students #week6tech252

Makerspaces! Fantastic idea and great way for individuals to create, learn and work with others. Let’s encourage our students to be leaders and inventors! #week6tech252

Great read about integrating computer coding into the classroom. I would have liked that as a kid. Teachers- don’t be afraid to push yourselves outside of your comfort zone. After all, learning is about doing things you’ve never done before! #week6tech252

Give students some freedom when exploring which assistive technology will best meet their individual needs #week5tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

Communication/schedule boards are quite important to have in the classroom. These serve as nice visual communicators. I’m interested to see what #assistivetech programs exist #week5tech252

Only 5% of our time as teachers is spent actually working one on one with our students. Wow. How should we spend more time with our students while still keeping up with our other duties? #week4tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

It is essential that we as teachers ensure that the technology in our classroom supports the growth of ideas. This will create a space where students ideas are heard and acknowledged #week4tech252

It is so important for young people to be educated about their privacy with regards to their online presence. Hitting the “make account private” doesn’t guarantee your privacy! #week3tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

Do you really need a family media plan to realize “hey, my child has way too much screen time. That can’t be healthy”. Take away the devices and have an actual conversation instead of texting each other from across the room #week3tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

Children are spending 7 hours a day on electronic devices. Wow. At what point should children be unplugged from their gadgets? #week3tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

“With the technology advancements of today, comes a new job requirement for teachers - we must be tech savvy” #week2tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

How are we as teachers supposed to help our students succeed in a technology-driven world if technology may not be available to us in our classrooms? Does that mean we are failing to adequately prepare them for the world that exists beyond our classroom walls? #week2tech252

[Vane @Its_VaneM]

It’s great to see students collaborate with peers while using technology. However, has anyone else noticed that students get distracted with other digital tools?

Very interesting to consider that not every social media platform is meant to be used for educational purposes. We have to make sure we are positive and professional, especially with online interactions! 💻📱#week2tech252 #tweetresponsibly
