7. Cell Phone Device and Policy
• Students need access to your School
Network
• Define PCD – Personal Communication
Devices
• Define when they are allowed to use the
Personal Communication Devices, what
are they allowed to use it for, and what
are the consequences for misuse of the
devices?
• Layers of Authority – District Policy,
School Administration, and Teacher
• When writing the policy make the
student the sole responsible party of
what they access within that device.
9. USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (1)
5136 - USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES
The use of personal communication devices (PCDs) on school grounds must be appropriately regulated to
protect students, staff, and the learning environment. This policy sets forth the District's policy with respect to
PCDs.
For purposes of this policy "personal communication device" includes computers, tablets (e.g. iPad-like
devices), electronic readers (Kindle-like devices), cell phones, smartphones, and/or other web-enabled
devices of any type.
Students may use personal communication devices (PCDs):
A) before and after school, during their lunch break, in between classes as long as they do not create a distraction,
disruption or otherwise interfere with the educational environment during after school activities (e.g. extra-curricular
activities) at school-related functions;
B) while riding to and from school on a school bus or other vehicle provided by the Board at the discretion of the bus
driver, classroom teacher and/or sponsor/advisor/coach. Behavior that distracts the driver of the school bus or other
vehicle provided by the Board will not be tolerated; and/or
C) for an educational or instructional purpose (e.g. taking notes, recording a class lecture, writing papers) with the
teacher’s permission and supervision. However, the non-instructional use of any communication functionality of the
PCD is expressly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, wireless Internet access, peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)
networking, or any other method of communication with other devices or networks. In no circumstances shall the device
be allowed to connect to the District’s business network.
10. USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (2)
At all other times, PCDs shall be powered completely off (not just placed into vibrate or silent mode) and stored out of sight.
PCDs shall not be in a student’s possession during State mandated testing.
Students may not use PCDs on school property or at a school-sponsored activity to access and/or view Internet web sites that are
otherwise blocked to students at school.
The preceding prohibitions do not apply to Board-owned and issued laptops, PDAs or authorized assistive technology devices.
Students are prohibited from using PCDs to capture, record or transmit the words (i.e. audio) and/or images (i.e., pictures/video)
of any student, staff member or other person in the school or while attending a school-related activity, without express prior
notice and explicit, written consent for the capture, recording or transmission of such words or images. Using a PCD to take or
transmit audio and/or pictures/video of an individual without his/her consent is considered an invasion of privacy and is not
permitted, unless authorized by the building principal. Students who violate this provision and/or use a PCD to violate the privacy
rights of another person may have their PCD confiscated and held until the end of the school year.
PCDs, including but not limited to those with cameras, may not be possessed, activated or utilized at any time in any school
situation where a reasonable expectation of personal privacy exists. These locations and circumstances include but are not limited
to locker rooms, shower facilities, restrooms, classrooms, and any other areas where students or others may change clothes or be
in any stage or degree of disrobing or changing clothes. The building principal has authority to make determinations as to other
specific locations and situations where possession of a PCD is absolutely prohibited.
No expectation of confidentiality will exist in the use of PCDs on school premises/property.
Students are prohibited from using a PCD in any way that might reasonably create in the mind of another person an impression of
being threatened, humiliated, harassed, embarrassed or intimidated. See Policy 5517.01 – Bullying and Harassment. In particular,
students are prohibited from using their PCDs to: (1) transmit material that is threatening, obscene, disruptive, or sexually explicit
or that can be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based upon their race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation,
age, disability, religion, or political beliefs; and (2) send, share, view or possess pictures, text messages, e-mails or other materials
of a sexual nature (i.e., sexting) in electronic or any other form. As set forth in State law, sexting is the knowing transmission or
distribution to another minor by a computer or similar device any photograph or video of any person that depicts nudity and is
harmful to minors. Sexting also includes possessing a photo of any person that was transmitted or distributed by another minor
that depicts nudity and is harmful to minors. Violation of these prohibitions shall result in disciplinary action. Furthermore, such
actions will be reported to local law enforcement and child services as required by law.
Students are also prohibited from using a PCD to capture and/or transmit test information or any other information in a manner
constituting fraud, theft, cheating, or academic dishonesty. Likewise, students are prohibited from using their PCDs to receive
such information.
14. • Know where the
devices are at all
times.
• Use the device and
use it often in your
instruction.
• Device must be used
in quick and short time
periods.
• Know your student
population – are you
sharing student
devices? Do you have
a plan?
16. Mobile Instructional Strategies
for Class Room
Strategy #1: Scales of Agreement
Students are often reluctant to share their opinions and perspectives in
classroom discussion. By having students vote on a poll with their cell phones,
as the results roll in they receive visual confirmation that their opinions are
shared by others in the class.
The “Scales of Agreement” strategy works well in the classroom as a method to
open up a classroom debate or to close a lesson. Instead of having students
respond to a question that has a correct answer, create the following question:
Question: How would you describe your perspective on this concept/topic/issue?
A: Completely Agree
B: Somewhat Agree
C: Somewhat Disagree
D: Completely Disagree
17. Mobile Instructional Strategies
for Class Room
Strategy #2: Scales of Understanding
This questioning strategy is similar to the method described above.
However, this time change the language in the question to probe not for student
agreement, but understanding.
Question: How well do you understand the concept/topic/issue?
A: Completely Understand
B: Somewhat Understand
C: Do Not Clearly Understand
D: Completely Do Not Understand
20. Texting in the Classroom
Students can sign up with their phones in 3
easy steps:
1) Give the student Class Pager's phone
number:
(206) 866-6284
2) Have the student text us the classroom's
code:
@fetc2013
3) If this is the student's first class on
ClassPager, we'll ask for their name to set
them up.
24. Edmodo

Slide Theme - Teaching digital citizenship and how to be responsible with the devices. Its more than just allowing students to use a device. You need to have a plan.A plan to teach digital citizenship, a plan to manage the device, a plan to know what to do when it is misused, and a plan for the students that don’t have a device. Topics: Digital Natives, Digital Etiquette, Netiquette, Social Media, Copyright and Plagiarism, Cyber Bullying, Digital Footprint, and Connectivity

Slide Title: Device ManagementSlide Theme - Teaching strategies on how to manage the device and not lose control of the class.Presentation Notes: “Screens Down” is a simple strategy that can be implemented in between voting on polls. Instead of having students put their cell phones away during class, keep them out in plain sight yet simply ask students to place them in the corner of their desk with the keyboard and screen down.

However, this time change the language in the question to probe not for student agreement, but understanding.Question: How well do you understand the concept/topic/issue?A: Completely UnderstandB: Somewhat UnderstandC: Do Not Clearly UnderstandD: Completely Do Not UnderstandThis strategy is helpful when determining if it is time to move on to the next stage of a lesson or unit. When the results come in for the poll, both the student and teacher will instantly know if the class has a grasp on the concept. Consider following up this type of poll question with a student-directed review of the concept. Ask a student who voted for option A to reteach the concept to the entire class or to a small group that voted for option C or D.As with any effort to integrate technology in the classroom, the learning objective has to be the driving force that dictates the type, frequency, and method by which technology is integrated. It is critical to consider if cell phone voting through Poll Everywhere or Socrative fits with the outlined objectives of the lesson. Classroom response systems and cell phones being used as classroom “clickers” are not meant to replace face-to-face debate and interaction. Instead, if used thoughtfully, they can create a classroom environment where students are more comfortable sharing their perspective or understanding because of the visual confirmation that is created when the poll results are revealed.EXIT Tickets: Add here

Fernandez Note: This is where I talk about the importance of giving exit tickets before the students leave the classroom. This is a great place to ask the last one or two questions at the end of class to see if they understand what that daily learning goal was?It will give you the teacher a good chance to see the data and let you know how much time you might need to review the previous days lesson based on the exit tickets.

As such there is no way to identify how individual users responded and there are no exporting features making this a poor choice for quizzes or graded problemsPolls are permanently allocated a specific URL so they can be re-visited as long as the URL has been saved.Requires either a web browser capable mobile device or a computer along with internet access in order to create polls or vote. Overall this is a very simple, easy to use, and free service that suffers in the classroom setting from inherent limitations in the application itself and the technology required of the voters.

Students can ask questions, contribute opinions, take quizzes, and more.Instructors create events (such as lectures or recitation) and can attach quizzes, polls, and discussions to the event. ‘Social Q&A’ feature where students can anonymously pose questions to the entire lecture. Other students can also vote for questions they wish answered allowing the Instructor to tailor a lecture specifically to the needs of the class in real-time.“Confusion Barometer” feature where students have the ability to toggle their status between either ‘I am getting it!’ or ‘I’m confused!’ allowing the instructor to see what percentage of the students are comprehending the lecture.Socrative - http://socrative.com/Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games via smartphones, laptops, and tablets.Socrative :Source - (Source: http://assett.colorado.edu/post/4278) Similar to Clicker audience response systems, but make use of web browser capable devices (computers, smart phones, tablets, etc).Students do not actually register and as such do not have an assigned identification keyTwo different types of activities: single-question and quiz-based:Single-question activities are ungraded and require the instructor to orally or visually (such as in a PowerPoint/Keynote slide) pose a question. Three types of questions exist: multiple choice, true/false, and short answer. Bar graphs of the responses are presented to the instructor who may choose to display these to the class.Quiz-based activities fall under three categories: quizzes, exit tickets, and space race. Quizzes include a reporting/grading feature and can be created in socrative or uploaded from a spreadsheet (socrative.com provides a template for this). Exit tickets are end-of-class assessments where students can comment on their understanding of the subject matter. Finally space race is a quiz that is run as game where students can work as individuals or teams to try and ‘win’ the race by finishing the quiz first.Study Boost - https://studyboost.com/#( Re-word and first watch the video) Basically allows you to set up times when you will get study questions that you create. You can really pl;ay with the settings and it allows you to get loads of study information that you created at any time. Could be a great fit for AP.
