Lessons Learned From a BYOD Pre-Pilot !!Top 10 Apps For BYOD !!Teacher Implementation Timeline !!School District Implementation Timeline

Students should always have their devices readily available as there is no such thing as “BYOD time.”

!

Students should constantly leverage the same devices and programs between school and home.

!

Learning should be redefined as students use their devices to accomplish tasks that would not otherwise be possible without the technology itself.

!

Digital citizenship must be stressed in both a proactive and reactive fashion.
