Maestro on Steroids: A newspaper and yearbook planner for the digital age

Key trends: The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is challenging us to revisit our roles as educators. Institutions must consider the unique value that each adds to a world in which information is everywhere. In such a world, sense-making and the ability to assess the credibility of information are paramount. Mentoring and preparing students for the world in which they will live and work is again at the forefront. K-12 institutions have always been seen as critical paths to educational credentialing, but challenges from competing sources are redefining what these paths can look like. As the cost of technology drops and school districts revise and open up their access policies, it is becoming more common for students to bring their own mobile devices. A growing number of schools are launching "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) programs so that students can use the devices they already own in class as well as in the informal and out-of-school environments they are ubiquitous in now. This is happening partly because of how BYOD impacts budgets; schools can spend less money on technology overall if students use their own, while funneling the funds they do spend to help students who cannot afford their own devices. The interest in BYOD programs can also be attributed to an attitude shift as schools are beginning to better understand the capabilities of smartphones and other devices that still remain banned on most campuses.

BYOD – bring your own device – a growing trend in education
