Is Your School Ready for the Apple Watch?

Is Your School Ready for the Apple Watch?

Do you remember the days when monitoring student technology was as easy as making sure their calculators were put away…oh the days of TI-85 tetris.  That calculator’s around here someplace just begging for a reboot.

The original App!

Today, it’s becoming almost impossible to monitor what kind of technology students bring to school.  We have a “no phone during the school day” policy at my school, but only the naive can really believe it works.

Something tells me most tech policies aren’t ready for this baby!

The battle for monitoring student technology is about to get a lot harder as Apple’s new Watch goes on sale later this year.  It’s been somewhat reasonable to asks students to keep their phones in their locker or bag, but an Apple Watch will be a whole new level of difficultly.

So is it worth it?  Is it time to stop monitoring student technology?  What are you going to do?
