From Tyler Hamilton to Everyone: Present device then explain situations or/and  role-playing fun usage before applying to school based usage.  (Telescope on a pirate ship was one we used on the playground equipment today...)  He will use monocular in class and in adulthood a possible biopic device for driving.

From Mary Shore to Everyone: Teaming with the COMS on a lesson or community outing - students (especially middle schoolers) may be more open to using devices off campus/away from their peers initially
