Calhoun County Schools have been POWERING-UP with a mobile device learning initiative called Bring Your Own
Device (BYOD) since January 2013. All Calhoun County schools allow students to bring mobile devices, smart phones, tablets, laptops,
I-pads, and other acceptable technologies for use in the classrooms. The POWER-UP Site
Schools received intensive project based training and support from i21Zone consultants and coaches.
POWER-UP goals are to enhance student engagement, teach responsible digital citizenship, and increase
student learning. This learning initiative is not about the mobile device but is about the student learning
that can occur when these technology tools are utilized by our young people to accomplish academic tasks
connected to real world learning.
