Manor Lakes P-12 College in Victoria, Australia implemented a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program that began with iPads for students in Year 6 and Prep. The college found that BYOD empowered students to personalize their learning, increased independence, and promoted self-directed learning both in and outside the classroom. BYOD also helped prepare students for a technology-rich future at university and in their careers.

11. Todays students will know nothing less than
the technology available to them. ‘For most’, it
will always be available. Anywhere. Anytime.
And, as move for wards, technology will continue to play an
even larger part in their lives.
We are now at the point where student rely n on their
technology.
And it’s not a matter of them being addicted to the technology,
they’re addicted to sharing, collaborating, socializing through
mobile technology and social media use

12. Today’s Learners are;
- More self-directed
- Better equipped to capture information
- More reliant on feedback from peers
- More inclined to collaborate
- More orientated to being their own

Why: Detailed where MLP12C will head in relation to technology deployment over
the next three years.
In a nutshell, we are aiming for a higher inclusion of BYOD (Apple Technology)
The BYOD model will affect, by the end of 2014, all P-2 students and all 6-8
students. Approx. 800 students.
Grand Plan... BYOD P-8 (Mobile Technology)...

18. An Intro to BYOD
Bring your own device (BYOD) refers to
technology models where students bring a
personally owned device to school for the
purpose of learning.
A personally owned device is ‘any’ technology
brought into the school and owned by a
student (or the student’s family)...
http://education.alberta.ca/admin/technology/research.aspx

19. BYOD or BYOT
Definitions vary, however, generally BYOD refers
to students bringing technology that is of the
same ilk, meaning, all Apple devices for
example, or all iPads, or all Netbooks.
BYOT refers more generally to all types of
technology, no matter the style, platform, OS,
etc...

29. Good Fit For Your Setting ?
BYOD may not fit every setting...
There are obvious pro’s and con’s for these models that schools and
colleges need to carefully consider... A few of these are;
- Families responsible for costings
- Cannot lock down what is installed
- Fully self managed
- Malware / Virus Risks
- No add on costs. i.e. insurance
- Affordability
- All students have 24/7 access
- Network / Wireless capabilities
- Devices are personalized, therefore a
- Inappropriate Content loaded on devices
greater responsibility is undertaken
- Liability for damages - school? student?
- Promotes self independence and learning
Can you think of more? For either?

30. Case Study #1
Hanover Public School System, U.S.
One of the, if not the, first school district to trial BYOD/BYOT.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/56155476@N08/566

31. Case Study #1
Hanover Public School System, U.S.
“Hanover Public School District is committed to aiding students and staff in
creating a 21st century learning environment. We are piloting a new policy
which will aid in this goal. Students and staff will now be able to access our
wireless network with their personal devices (laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart
phones, etc) during the school day. With classroom teacher approval, students
may use their own devices to access the internet and collaborate with other
students. Many schools across the nation are implementing Bring Your Own
Device policies for their students and staff. By allowing students to use their
own technology on campus we are hoping to increase the access all students
have to the technology they need to succeed.”
http://byod.hanoverpublic.org/

32. Case Study #1
Hanover Public School System, U.S.
BYOD
Why are we doing this?
• Applications accessed by a web browser, like Google Docs,
eliminate the need to have specific software loaded onto
every student computer.
• Cloud based computing allows students to access their
information from any computer with a web browser.
• The current economic times require unique strategies to
ensure every student has equitable access to online
resources.

33. Case Study #1
Hanover Public School System, U.S.

34. Case Study #2
The Illawarra Grammar School, NSW
TIGS have adopted a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) policy for
students in Years 7 to 12 from the beginning of the 2012 school year.

35. Case Study #2
The Illawarra Grammar School, NSW
“Such a policy is about more than just giving students a device.
We believe that placing the technology of choice into the hands
of our students:
• Provides opportunity for individualised learning,
• Increases independence, and
• Promotes self initiated learning within and beyond the
classroom
This policy allows students to use the device with which they are
most comfortable and with which learning will be most effective.
Recognising the importance of choice, we are not recommending
specific brands and models of devices. Instead, we are specifying
the minimum requirements to which each device should conform.
Please see the tabs above for these specifications and for
further information.”
http://www.tigs.nsw.edu.au/technology

36. Case Study #2
The Illawarra Grammar School, NSW
Rationale
1. Choice. Learners are diverse. Learning styles and preferences vary and we wish to recognise this
by allowing learners to choose the device and applicatons most suitable for them.
2. Anywhere, anytime. Teaching and learning occurs inside and outside the classroom. We want to
empower learners to utilise tools for learning in a “just in time” manner no matter where they are.
3. Personalised. By having our own devices we can each have the tools, shortcuts, widgets, and
add-ons that are most relevant to us. Our desktops and browsers are the way we want them.
4. Preparing for the future. Our students will move in to BYOT environments at university and in
the work place. We need to prepare them for this.
5. Flexible learning. The nature of learning is changing. No longer do we sit in rows and listen to a
teacher. We are creating flexible learning environments that facilitate collaborative and individual
learning. Our computer labs have all but vanished. Our new library provides collaborative and
personal spaces and online 24/7 access to resources. We are opening the classroom doors and
encouraging teachers and students to access ‘global’ learning environments via web technologies.
6. Digital fluency. We are empowering teachers and students to become digitally fluent and
responsible users of technology.

BYOD

Journey

42. So Why BYOD For Us?
For very very similar reasons to that of TIGS. But also from an admin. perspective...
1. Financial - as we grow as a college we cannot afford the costs associated with both leasing
and school owned devices.
2. Technical Support - The onus would not entirely be left for the College to administer, however,
the option was still there to provide outstanding technical support to families, with the issues of
warranty and leasing dilemmas.
3. Ownership - students have proven to take much more care with devices that are their own.
Hence, less damages.

43. Our BYOD
Strategy

44. 1. PLAN
As a School / College, have a vision of what
you want to achieve. Why are you going down a
BYOD path? This needs thought... Is it the best
fit for your college? Will the majority of
stakeholders be supportive?

45. 2. PREPARE
Ensure all major parties are ready for BYOD
Prepare;
Staff: through PL, research, an opportunity to give input and direction,
Students: inform them of where your setting is headed, and why!
Parents: Prepare them for the support they may need through
information evenings and support groups
Community: Alert local businesses and the community
ICT Partners: Resellers, etc...

46. 3. RECORD YOUR JOURNEY
Record your journey.
Keep a record of decisions made and why as
well as all of the successes as well as hurdles
that you come across!

47. 4. DOCUMENTATION
Ensure all relevant polices, AUA’s, website
information is correct and adapted to suit.
Also keep track of all documentation and
correspondence between the school, community
and families.

48. 5. COMMUNICATE
Keep all stakeholders in the loop.
As successes and hurdles arise, as well with new
information, be sure to share this with those
involved.

49. 6. RELAX
Do not rush the process.
In saying this, do not procrastinate. Make the
decisions you need and want to whilst being
mindful of being confident of the decisions that
have been made.

50. 7. SEEK FEEDBACK AND ASSISTANCE
Chances are, there is another school somewhere
that has already done, or is doing, what you
want to do.
Visit, ask questions, seek evidence.

51. 8. SHARE THE LOAD
Form an ICT Committee, that contains staff and
students to assist in the development of
implementing a BYOD Model.
Many hands...

52. Definite’s
From what we’ve done and from what I’ve witnessed at other educational
BYOD/1:1 settings, the following recipe is crucial for success:
Backing of Leadership
Sound Infrastructure
Staff, and Parent, Professional Learning
Let Students Lead
Don’t Hold Back (Trial and Error)

53. So...
For Us...
Why the iPad?

54. Teaching and Learning
with Mobile Technology

55. Horizon Report K-12 2012
Tablet Computing
Time-to-Adoption: One Year or Less
In the past two years, advances in tablets have captured the imagination of educators around the world. Led by the incredible
success of the iPad, which in 2011-12 was selling at the rate of more than 3 million units a month, other similar devices
such as the Samsung Galaxy and Sony’s Tablet S have also begun to enter this rapidly growing market. In the process, the
tablet (a form that is distinct from tablet PCs) has come to be viewed as not just a new category of mobile devices, but
indeed a new technology in its own right, one that blends features of laptops, smartphones, and earlier tablet computers with
always-connected Internet, and thousands of apps with which to personalize the experience.
The device itself encourages exploration of its capabilities, something easily demonstrated by simply placing the
device in the hands of a small child.
Recent research indicates that tablets, because they are designed to easily share their screens, foster key 21st

81. Creative App’s We Use...
Halftone turns your photo and images into comics, similar to that of Comic
Life. Halftone makes it easy to add paper styles, captions, speech balloons,
graphics, and fonts (including built-in comic fonts). Student comics can be sent
via e-mail to teachers and then embedded on a Blog or Class Wikispace!
Art Set gives an alternative to complex and mechanical like paint apps for all to
enjoy - artist or not! But simplicity comes without sacrificing quality, from pens to
pencils, paints to pastels, each has been carefully crafted to produce natural
results in real time. A highlighted App by our Art Dept.
The Guardian Eyewitness app for iPad showcases the world’s most distinctive
and provocative photographs, providing a daily, visual reflection of global events.
Developed by the most popular digital newspaper in the UK, the app provides free
access to our award-winning Eyewitness photography series. A great App for
prompting discussion and for literacy based tasks, especially creative writing
purposes.

82. Basically, take photos and pics from your camera roll and create a ‘Pic Collage!
These can imported back in to your PIcture Library and or shared via email or
social media means. One App that the kids very much enjoy using, especially
those visual learners.
Explain Everything allows students to create screen casts demonstrating their
understanding of a particular outcome. A great App for reflecting on learning and
demonstrating what learning intentions and success criteria have been set for a
particular lesson. Students then email these to their teacher so a record of
learning can be kept!
One of the greatest App’s we have come across is Toontastic. Students are able
to create their own Animations whilst recording voice to narrate their story! Very
engaging!

83. Nearpod is an application that has since it’s arrival taken the education world by
storm. Teachers create a Powerpoint/Keynote presentation, upload it to the
Nearpod Site where it’s then hosted. It can then be shared with students. No big
deal... UNTIL!!! You add multimedia within that powerpoint that has the ability for
assessment and to record and collate student responses. There is a ‘teacher’ app
and a ‘student’ app that is need by both parties involved.
Skitch is an app that allows students to annotate images they’ve both
taken via their camera as well as collected from the web. These can then
be placed back in to the camera roll to be shared and used with other
classmates or applications.
Creative Book Builder is regarded as the best and most comprehensive iBook
creation App around. Very similar in use to Apple’s iBook Author software for
Macs. Students can create on the go and then immediately load their completed
books in to their iBook Library. Books can also be emailed and shared.

84. Storyrobe is a mobile digital storytelling application which allows the students to
create a digital story in three simple steps.
1. Choose Images/Videos
2. Record Story
3. Upload to teachers and friends...
It’s that easy!

85. iMotion HD. Where do i start. From Prep, to year 7, we have students using this
excellent FREE App for Stop Motion Creation! Simple and effective!

86. Augmented Reality
HeartCam is an Augmented Reality heart viewer that creates the startling effect of
seeing someone’s heart beating through a hole in their chest.
The effect tracks to the marker’s position and size. As you view the open cavity
from different angles,
heartbeat sounds get louder the closer your device views the heart.
To run this App, String, you need the triggers to enable it’s use...
Excellent App!

87. Money Vision uses Augmented Reality to surround you with
falling wads of cash! It's like a crime lords plane exploded above
you (but without the debris, just the cash falls!) Seriously! Start
the app and look around!
AR Flashcards are a new way to interact and make Flashcards
more entertaining for toddlers and preschoolers. With AR Flashcards,
learning the Alphabet will be fun! When you point your device at the
printed flashcard a beautifully rendered 3D animal will pop up on
the screen. Tap the animal to hear the letter and animal name.

innovation in education
is teachers.
