8. Goals for BYOD: A Personalized
Learning Initiative
• In order to assure future-ready students who are effective
digital citizens, Academy District 20 seeks to:
•
Engage learners in implementing technology to enhance
their learning, while taking responsibility for their devices
and creatively accomplishing all learning goals.
• Provide learners the opportunity to engage in personalized
digital learning while appropriately adapting to the
technological, social, and academic environments they
encounter.
• Develop student ownership of their learning at any time,
any place, with changing levels of challenge as they engage
in research, and global collaboration.
