Guest post by - Pamela Livingston | Cross posted at 1:1 Schools The buzz in 1-to-1 right now is about BYOD - Bring Your Own Device - and it's not a fad and it's not going away. There's a convergence of factors causing it including: Hardware is diverse and at price points that are more affordableSchools are hyper budget consciousThe "cloud" (previously called The Internet, the Web and the Information Superhighway) is ideal for core apps which are free or inexpensive with such as Google (although be sure to use GAFE), and ZohoParents are realizing that a digital device is necessary for learningSchools want to be sure students possess 21st Century skills But BYOD upsets apple carts right and left.

But then there are the students. They grow and develop and move to the next grade level and out the door to college and to life. In order for BYOD to work well there must be a strong partnership between administration, Board members, teachers, technology, students, and parents. Related posts: You Are Your Words - AHD.

Picfull - Free One Click Photo Editing. 60 in 60 – 60 Web Tools in 60 Minutes with Brandon Lutz. Flying solo, DEN STAR Brandon Lutz #60in6012 Last year’s P.A.E.C.T. Advocate of the Year, this year’s P.A.E.C.T. Southeast Regional Director, and always a DEN (super) STAR, Brandon Lutz is a legend at PETE&C any year. His name is synonymous with 60 in 60, a presentation that packs an overflowing full house eager to cheer him as he achieves the superman impossible: 60 tools in 60 minutes. Hard to find a faster hour, unless it’s his App Attack: 60 Apps in 60 Minutes. Brandon challenges any blogger to keep up with his pace, so his generosity in sharing his work ahead of time makes him one of my favorite perennial presenters.

The countdown begins... Brandon began his presentation by noting he has added 50 new since last year because he is always trying to keep his work fresh, timely, and relevant. Prezi: Keynote or PowerPoint is Prezi, a whole new concept in presentation media. Super Simple, Fast, and Fun! Another amazing presentation, the second of two 60in60 presentations in one day!
