Schools have different models of
funding 1-1 technology; some charge the parents by including a lease amount on
the fee bill. Others put the immediate burden of ownership of the device onto the parent... BYOD - even if the school stipulates what the device must be... What they are actually saying is Bring Your Own Device, with the required software - all in working order! One school was experimenting with giving pupils the device as part of school
fees. Another school provided mobile labs, but were finding that the maintenance and
support overhead and expense was unsustainable.
Each model has its pros and cons.
My thoughts... To create a model that enables focus of the school's resources on actual classroom (and beyond) teaching and learning.
