T23 DSC: The Impact of Integrating BYOD Programs into K-12 Schools: A Cross-Cultural Perspective

• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - DSC

Short Description

For over a decade there have been programs in public schools to support Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. This presentation looks at the adaptation and impact on the school districts that adopt BYOD programs across two different cultures, one in the rural Midwest in the U.S. and another in a large city in China. In many cases the needed resources, issues, and benefits are similar. Nevertheless, there are differences that result from the settings.
