Lawrence Schools Consider Allowing Students to Use Own Tech Devices

The Lawrence Township Public Schools are investigating the idea of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for students.

This means allowing students to bring in their own technology device such as laptops, tablets, and e-readers and use them for school related activities. School related activities could include taking notes, doing research, creating projects, writing reports, taking assessments, etc.

Schools around the country are investigating and implementing this as a way to help include the technology in the classrooms. Students like such programs because they are able to use a device of their choice and technology that they are familiar with since it is their own.

There is no guarantee that our school district may be able to roll out a BYOD program, but this survey will be very helpful as we investigate this possibility. The district is are that all parents of 5th-11th grade students complete an online survey to tell them your opinions on this topic.
