BYOD - Bring Your Own Device Sessions
In the past, MACE has partnered with Kansas school districts, KSU, and Apple to provide the equipment for our hands-on sessions. Over the past few years we have experienced a decline in equipment our partners can commit to our conference. Unfortunately, this means a reduction in the number of hands-on labs MACE can provide.
With your help, we will again offer our BYOD, "Bring Your Own Device", sessions.
In the grid look for the designation BYOD, or look for the color code which is a shade of blue, that means it is a "Bring Your Own Device" session.
MACE will not be able to provide devices for these sessions. We are asking you to bring your own device to these sessions.
Bringing a device to a BYOD session is not a requirement, you may sit in the session just as an observer. You and a friend could share a device. The choice is yours. We are asking the Presenter to do their session as if everyone is sitting in front of a device.
To see a list of websites and/or software needed for any session on the grid just go to the Grid page and use the Search options.
If your district or organization has equipment available please visit with us at the conference. MACE offers free registrations to equipment providers. The number of free registrations is based on equipment type and numbers. Free registrations must be approved by the Conference Chairs.
