For any school or district considering a technology initiative I think this article is a must read.  It will only take one minute.  Then, pass it along to your committee so that they get it.

This recent Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development article suggests key drivers for success in a BYOD initiative.  The six key drivers are: build out infrastructure, grow a shared vision, create a strategic plan, implement professional development, integrate into student programs and creatively allocate budget.  These six key drivers of success relate to any school or district Ed Tech initiative.  My experience would suggest one improvement to the order, do strategic planning first.

As a reminder, we are committed to device neutrality.  For more than two years now, Ascend Math has been built for and used on tablets of all varieties.
