1:1 vs BYOD in Education Infographic

Both 1:1 and BYOD have pros and cons. Some schools even using a mix of both solutions. The best solution is always based on what fits your school's needs. To help visualize the decision process, the team at SecurEdge Networks has developed the 1:1 vs BYOD in Education Infographic.

1. Cost
   While both 1:1 and BYOD require wireless network infrastructure upgrades, BYOD's users are providing the device
2. Equality
   1:1 bring uniform integration of technology to every class which eliminates digitally inequality. With 1:1 schools won't have to worry about who doesn't and who does have the right device.
3. Apps
   Applications may not be universal across all platforms causing possible issues for BYOD users. With 1:1, since everyone has the same device and on the same platform, schools know whatever apps they use will work on all of the students devices.
4. Maintenance
   With 1:1 there are long term maintenance costs for the school including upgrades and replacing old devices for new ones. With BYOD the maintenance is the responsibility of the user.
