Future-Proof Your One-to-One Program

Tech Leadership

During our time as administrators in the Maynard Public Schools in Massachusetts, we created a distinctive program we called Choose Your Own Device, or CYOD, to provide the widest technology application opportunities for students and staff.

At the time, Maynard, a school district with 1,300 students, had moved from traditional desktop applications to wireless one-to-one technology. But the one-to-one models still locked users into device-specific programs. CYOD offered greater flexibility. Our efforts to build an innovative and sustainable CYOD program could serve as a roadmap for other school districts.
