In North Dakota, we are simultaneously experiencing a huge population boom and a devastating housing shortage. Because many of our students are coming from out-of-state, they don't always have access to the amenities that we sometimes assume (or hope) they do. One of those amenities, Technology, is becoming a necessity in terms of college and career preparedness. In an informal, beginning-of-the-year survey, seven of my ninety students said they did not have regular access to a computer at home, and while our district already invests heavily in technology for students, labs and carts can be fully booked weeks in advance due to our growing student population. To combat this, we've informally moved to a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) atmosphere. Students bring Wi-Fi capable smart phones, tablets, and iPods and connect to our school's public Wi-Fi network. I'd like to offer a little assistance to students not lucky enough to arrive with tech-in-hand.
