Are students required to have their own technology devices?

In-person classrooms: 

No, Empatico’s video exchanges and activities for in-person classrooms are designed to connect one entire classroom to another classroom. You, as the Teacher, will just need at least one computer with a camera and internet connection in your classroom.

Remote classrooms:

Yes, for classrooms where students are joining remotely, students will also need access to one computer with a camera and internet connection. See 'Empatico for Remote Learning' for more information. Alternatively, if you would like to use another video tool (see FAQ on using other video meeting tools with Empatico here), then all those joining may use a computer/laptop, phone or tablet.
