BYOT and 1:X BYOT

(Bring Your Own Technology) 1:X InitiativeIt is our goal that students and teachers will collaborate in rich, engaging learning experiences

using technology. Students may bring their own technology and

utilize personal electronic communication devices at school

and at school activities. Students may use these devices

in the classroom when the teacher deems them appropriate

for educational purposes.

This initiative gives our students tools to access, create and collaborate as thriving, 21st

century digital citizens and is a direct reflection of our

commitment to provide all students with a personalized

educational experience. Learn more about the Apple iPad

deployment, 1:X handbook, and parent resources at LISD’s

technology page http://tech.lisd.net/

With technology comes digital responsibility

• Technology must be clearly labeled with your name

• Item is to remain in “Silent” and put away unless instructed by teacher.

• Devices should be charged prior to bringing to school

• In the event technology is used inappropriately, normal disciplinary consequences will occur.

• There will be NO WARNING for students taking pictures in locker rooms or bathrooms.

How the App Store is Changing in LISD

Active Blacklist with Automatic Warning and Lockdown

• Blacklist specific Apps that are known problems will be restricted.

• A warning message is sent to device about non-compliance if a blacklisted App is installed

• Lockdown of iPad if the blacklisted App is not removed within a certain period
