All public schools have growing demands for Internet and network content that can benefit teachers and students. Some schools are going so far as to provide devices for teachers and students to use at school and at home. Others with tighter budgets continue to use computer labs or ask students to bring their own devices. When devices are provided, it is usually called a 1:1 deployment if each student receives a device. A 1:2 implementation would mean there is one device for every two students, with a 1:2 implementation it is likely that the devices would remain in the classroom and not be able to go home. Students in the classroom would share devices. If students are asked to bring their own technology devices from home, this is often referred to as the BYOD or Bring Your Own Device model. Once students have devices, it wouldn't do them much good if they couldn't access all the content they want. It is now impractical to use standard cables to connect every student to the Internet. With standard cables, an available port would be needed on each student's desk to access the Internet. This is not only limiting, but also logistically difficult to achieve. Using wireless technology may not offer the same speeds as a direct connection, but it makes connecting every student to the Internet a reality. Using wireless in the K-12 environment will solve the problem of finding a good medium for students, but will create potential safety risks. Since there is no port to connect to, you can't easily see who is connecting to your network. Wireless is also a popular means for hackers to try to access data because it doesn't need to be in the building to... middle of paper... but not least, teachers need to teach with technology. You cannot expect improvement simply by handing out a laptop to a student. Education must be guided to use technology and ensure that the student makes good use of the tools provided to him.
