My school is neither 1:1 nor BYOD, but I still try to teach the students how to use their devices for learning, such as researching information for an essay on their phones, or looking up the etymology of a word so we can analyze the Latin and Greek origins. I am limited in the amount of time I can spend on these activities though because we do not have a way to monitor or control their usage. It would be amazing for schools like ours to be able to put mobile device management into the hands of classroom teachers like me.
