What is BYOD? BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device It is also referred to as BYOT or Bring Your Own

Technology The purpose is to allow students to bring their

personal devices into your school and use them for educational purposes.

A device can include laptops, mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, iPods, iPads, or any other mobile electronic device.

How could it benefit my school? It is a possible solution to outdated computers,

such as end of life CFF equipment Allows for a greater number of students to have

access to mobile devices Cloud based applications provide access from

anywhere – extends the learning beyond the school day. Many are free. Office 365 25Gb’s , Google Apps

Increase student engagement

Why Not?

BYOD requires added investment in infrastructure in order to allow personal devices to connect in a safe way.

There will always be students who do not have the means to buy their own devices. The district needs to have a plan to provide equitable access.

What are the challenges? Students may use devices outside of

classroom Students may use devices inappropriately Personal devices may bring viruses onto

school network Supporting multiple platforms Supporting devices with outdated antivirus

and OS updates No way to control 3G or 4G access on devices Schools have a responsibility to filter content

(CIPA). Applies to any device on school network. Applies to any school owned device on or off the

network. Schools have a responsibility to protect data

(FERPA)

What are the solutions? Update policies and procedures

Update to allow electronic devices on the network Policy should not allow use of wifi access (3G) and should

indicate penalties Develop student guidelines Develop a parent permission form that protects teacher and

school from lost/stolen equipment Teachers need to monitor student use especially with regard

to wifi access. Implement a wireless network that supports BYOD

inherently: Security & Management (ie. Meraki Wireless, Cisco*, Aruba*). * additional components required

Implement a filtering device that can recognize any device that is on the network (ie. Meraki, Lightspeed, Barracuda, SonicWall)

Implement Cloud Services to “wrap” solutions together - Stoneware

Problem: There is a New Reality

Chaos

Public Cloud(SaaS)

Private Cloud(data center) Device

Solution: Unified Delivery• Applications, services, and resources are

dispersed across device, data center, and the public cloud

• Public cloud, Private cloud, and Local Devices are managed independently

• Growing number of unmanaged devices (pads, slates, etc.) are making it problematic for IT to deliver services and control

• Difficult environment for the end user to understand and navigate

• Unified Delivery of all application and services across the public cloud, the private data center, and the local devices (pads, notebooks, smartphones, laptops, workstations, and desktops)

• Unified Management to provide a means for IT to manage all IT resources (public, private, and local) , (windows, web, and hosted web)

• Unified Interfacecreates one common HTML5 web desktop accessible anywhere from any device

Quote: “Users gain their freedom from device and location while IT regains control”

positioning themselves to benefit from a unified cloud computing Collapse corporate digital resources into the data

center Lower deployment and desktop support costs Benefit from web scalability Leverage existing licensing on the device Strategy for incorporating tablets, slates, and pads Support remote users Moving toward an any device model
