BYOD is also sometimes know as BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology).

It refers to the practice of allowing students to bring their own mobile devices to school that are capable of connecting to the Internet and can include everything from laptops to tablets to smartphones. You Say BYOT, I Say BYOD #tcea16

a

BYOD deepens the digital divide.Teachers must be in control in order for a BYOD to be successful.BYOD will result in lessons geared toward the weakest device.

BYOD will necessitate the standardization of apps and software across all devices.A BYOD implementations takes lots of planning.

Which of the following is/are myths regarding BYOD? Share the number and your reasoning.

Learners are more engaged in connected classroomsIncreased opportunities for introverted students to participateCost savings for schoolsVariety of ways for students to produce and present workStudents more likely to remember their device rather than their pencilsOffers a way of supplying, displaying and creating ebooksTaking away a device is a powerful deterrent/consequence for misbehaviorAllows for students and teachers to swap rolesEncourages choice of educational tools/appsProvides opportunity to teach responsibility for devices, along with digital citizenshipAdvantages #tcea16

a

Increased professional development costs for faculty and staffIncreased digital divide amongst have and have not studentsApps/tools not common to all platformsPotential for increased parental concerns over safe useIncrease possibility of theft at schoolPotential damage to deviceUnwillingness of teachers to take risks trying BYODDevice seen as status symbol peer pressure for certain appsGreater chances of plagiarismTechnical infrastructure not capable of meeting influx of wireless devicesDisadvantages #tcea16

Rules for tools dont make sense.

Rules for behaviorsdo.

#tcea16

Responsible Use PolicyDynamicA guide, not a wallReflects the community that it serves and provides for real world uses and collaborationPromotes effective, productive, and instructionally sound uses of digital, networked, and abundant information environmentsProvides safe digital environments for learnersInstills safe practices and habits among the learning communityProactive educationAcceptable Use PolicyStaticProvides safe digital environments for learners by saying NO to most ideasIgnores the community it serves and prevents real world uses and collaborationStifles innovative uses of technology for teacher and student engagementPromotes safe practices through vicarious experiencesPromotes status quo

#tcea16

a

Respect Yourself: Students will use technology resources productively and responsibly for school relate purposes. Students will be polite and use appropriate language, and students will consider the information and images that they post online.

Protect Yourself: Students will be safe online and will safe guard all personal details, contact detail, or schedule of activities for themselves or anyone else. Students will secure their account credentials and will notify a teacher immediately if they receive a request for personal identifiable information.Sample Responsible Use Policy Statements #tcea16

a

A list of devices that wont be allowedA waiver of liability (so school and district arent responsible for the device being lost or stolen)Clear statement that device must be on school Wi-Fi Clear statement regarding what kinds of resources students will have access to on their devicesClarification of teachers roles, making clear that teachers are not the tech support for every gadgetA separate BYOD agreement listing specific rules for useItems to Include in a RUP for BYOD #tcea16

#tcea16

a

Procedures outlining when devices can be usedProcedures related to teachers, parents, and studentsClear statement that use of a BYOD device requires the student's adherence to the school or districts responsible use policyEquity of access - Students without a personal device may be provided access to an appropriate district-owned digital device for instructional purposes as needed.Clear description of the procedures students must follow in order to obtain access with their deviceProvide statements of clear consequences for student failure to follow the school or districts responsible use policy and BYOD guidelinesCreate a BYOD Handbook #tcea16

a

CIPA (Childrens Internet Protection Act)If you are receiving federal E-rate funding on telecommunications services, your school must be in compliance with CIPA, which means your Internet content has to be filtered so that students are protected from inappropriate material. Any school-owned computer/device must be filtered, whether it is used on campus or off, or used by an adult or studentAny personal-owned computer/device must be filtered if using school or library Internet accessMay not be required: Personal-owned computer/devices that use their own Internet access - Be careful with this. - Just because its not required, doesnt mean you shouldnt address it!Federal Laws & Regulations #tcea16

COPPA (Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act)Applies to the online collection of personal information of children under the age of 13Requires parental consent for the online collections of informationFERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)Protects the privacy of student records

#tcea16

a

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13. The new rules spell out what a Web site operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online. The Federal Trade Commission staff prepared this guide to help you comply with the new requirements for protecting children's privacy online and understand the FTC's enforcement authority. Who Must Comply If you operate a commercial Web site or an online service directed to children under 13 that collects personal information from children or if you operate a general audience Web site and have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children, you must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. To determine whether a Web site is directed to children, the FTC considers several factors, including the subject matter; visual or audio content; the age of models on the site; language; whether advertising on the Web site is directed to children; information regarding the age of the actual or intended audience; and whether a site uses animated characters or other child-oriented features. To determine whether an entity is an "operator" with respect to information collected at a site, the FTC will consider who owns and controls the information; who pays for the collection and maintenance of the information; what the pre-existing contractual relationships are in connection with the information; and what role the Web site plays in collecting or maintaining the information.

Does your Responsible Use Policy cover student-owned mobile devices?Is your BYOD usage policy consistent with other policies (Responsible Use, Student Handbooks, Board Policy) in your district?Has your district attorney reviewed it to be sure it is adequate?Are you in compliance with relevant regulations?Is your Internet content filtered sufficiently?Policy Considerations #tcea16

SketchnotingHow to Get Started with Sketchnoting - http://goo.gl/2hPJlB The term sketchnoting describes the style of visual note-taking that has become popular at tech conferences in the past few years. Sketchnoting is not just an attractive way to take notes, it can improve retention and learning.

Infrastructure

#tcea16

a

25

Opening school doors to student and staff devices will create heavy demands on your network infrastructure.

Will the network be able to handle large a number of devices simultaneously, for example, at the beginning of class periods when students log on to the network at the same time?

Will students be able to rely on network access 24/7?

How will you ensure enough bandwidth to handle multimedia applications?

Network Considerations #tcea16

a

Also consider that BYOD brings with it a host of security concerns, including data protection and compliance with the Childrens Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

How will you protect student information and avoid data security conflicts?How will you protect your network from viruses and malware?Will students be protected from unsolicited email and inappropriate sites?How will you monitor Internet usage?

Security Considerations #tcea16

a

Infrastructure SuggestionsWhat suggestions do you have for schools implementing BYOD?

#tcea16

a

Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidthCheck with your provider to see if scalable bandwidth is possible (and cost)Segment networks into guest and repositories of servicesBe prepared to throttle student and teacher network activity to ensure support of high-priority activitiesApply for eRATE funds to assist with infrastructure upgrades and securityPossibly block specific activities at specific times of the day No magic formula you have to monitorBudget forand then add some!

Infrastructure Suggestions #tcea16

Devices

#tcea16

a

30

Although mobile devices offer many advantages, such as anytimeanywhere learning, there may be times when students need to use a computer to access district programs not supported by mobile devices. Will you open the door to all types of mobile devices? Or do you set minimum standards?How will you know what type of devices students have or will bring?How will students access files that teacher give them that are not supported on their mobile device?Are the applications students will be using device agnostic?How will students use district software programs that require a computer?

Mobile Devices #tcea16

a

Schools that implement BYOD programs must also provide mobile technology solutions for students who do not have their own device, and they must support the mix of the schools technology with the students own devices.

How will you provide for students who dont have a mobile device?Will you consider a program that allows for purchasing or leasing school-owned devices, including costs for upgrading, repairing, or replacing the devices regularly?Will you seek out donation programs for new and used equipment?School-Owned Devices #tcea16

a

Device SuggestionsWhat suggestions do you have for schools implementing BYOD?

#tcea16

a

Survey students/parents to get an idea of type/number of devicesSurvey teachers to identify their use of specific devicesOnly allow devices that can be inspected by adminsDiscuss with content departments the integration of devices in curriculum and lessonsStart collecting device specific resourcesWifi only? Device with data package?Plan on surge of new devices after summer and Christmas

Professional Development

#tcea16

a

35

Without proper planning, implementation, and professional development, BYOD may not live up to its expectations.

Simply inviting students to bring their own devices into school does not raise achievement; rather, its how teachers choose to implement the devices that can determine if a BYOD program succeeds or fails.

Providing Professional Development #tcea16

a

How will professional development plans be developed and carried out?How much time will you spend providing teacher training?Do teachers have time built in their schedule for collaboration with other teachers about tech issues and/or BYOD implementation? If not, will you consider it?Are there outside professional development opportunities teachers can attend or you can bring to your school?Is there staff in place to deliver professional development?

Professional Development Considerations #tcea16

a

Professional DevelopmentSuggestionsWhat suggestions do you have for schools implementing BYOD?

#tcea16

a

PD will make or break your BYOD implementationInclude students (when possible) in teacher PDProvide PD in as many methods as possiblePD must be where the learning occurs (campus-based, throughout the day, modeling/coaching, etc.)Ongoing and sustained (not a one time event)Expectations tied to PD (not a sit and get)Locate your trail blazers and have thempilot your BYOD the next year theyll bevital as curriculum developers and trainersBudget forand then add some!

Professional Development Suggestions #tcea16

a

Curriculum

#tcea16

a

40

Students will bring their own devices if the curriculum (and staff) supports their use. How does technology support the curriculum?Is the district curriculum built to incorporate BYOD? If not, who will build the curriculum?Do teachers have access to coaches, who will work with teachers and administrators to support BYOD implementation in the classroom?Will teachers build online sites that can be accessed through each students mobile device?Will assignments be posted online?Who will train students on Internet safety, search strategies, copyright, and netiquette? Will this be built into the curriculum?

Building Curriculum #tcea16

a

Curriculum SuggestionsWhat suggestions do you have for schools implementing BYOD?

#tcea16

a

Start a repository for curriculum departments and teachers to add their projects, lessons, photos, videos, and success stories (behind firewall?)Start simpleStart slowlySolicit samples from trail blazers and highlight their efforts to integrate BYOD devicesRefer to this site during PD, faculty meetings, and planning timesCurriculum Suggestions #tcea16

Classroom Management

#tcea16

a

44

Teachers may be more comfortable with a traditional technology model, which offers controlled environments.Will you provide ongoing support for staff members who are responsible for implementing the program and procedures on a daily basis?How will teachers successfully manage a BYOD environment, which is often uncontrolled and requires effective classroom management strategies and a greater depth of knowledge about technology?What tips and suggestions do you have for daily management of devices?What will the classroom norms and routines be? What are the consequences for inappropriate use? Classroom Management #tcea16

a

Classroom ManagementSuggestionsWhat suggestions do you have for schools implementing BYOD?

#tcea16

a

Set up guidelines such as:Use of a device during the school day is clearly at the discretion of teachers and staff.Students are to put the devices away when asked to do so.Clear instructions to students that using devices during the instructional day is in support of their educational activities. Make clear to students that their use of a device must not disrupt the learning of others.Involve the students in the integration of devices in your lessons.Be open to new ideas and new ways of using the tools that come to your classroom!

Classroom Management Suggestions #tcea16

a

Teacher Support

#tcea16

a

48

Support is different than professional developmentSupport is to bridge the PD sessionsCreate clear, user-friendly wiki or Google Site with various supportsMust be well organized, concise, easy to accessInvolve teachers and students in creating simple video tutorials (no longer than 5 minutes!)possibly during an after-school clubDevelop simple way for teachers to request helpStudents will figure it outYou are doomed if you are expecting teachers to figure it outAsk the teachers what type(s) of support would be most meaningfulMake support information available to parents and students (where appropriate)
