2. NOT what your district will look like after you openly acknowledge BYOT

3. Tech Policy Central District School

4. What’s not going to help

5. Listening to the radio..

6. Watching TV

8. BYOT At it’s essence BYOT is simply allowing students to bring their own technology to use OPENLY the classroom for instructional use.

9. Speak Up! 64% 67%

10. What do students believe is the greatest barrier to using educational technology? 53% say not being able to use their own cell phone, smart phone, or MP3 player for learning in school

11. Project RED Data was pulled from a survey of almost 1,000 schools in 49 states and Washington. Findings focused on school-level data instead of district-level data in order to get as close as possible to the students, teachers, and principals, according to the report.

12. Project RED 9 factors that most strongly link technology to educational success Of those nine, five could be directly supported by implementing BYOT

13. BYOT in your schools...your choices... SUDTSBYOT (Subversive, underground, double top secret, bring your own technology) BYOT

14. BYOT Truths It’s already happening! It will accelerate.

15. BYOT’s Considerations Educational Technical

16. Educational Considerations Achieve 1:1 for less money Bring technology integration to whole new level because of access Will you need to structure PD instructional strategies with 1:1?

17. Educational Considerations Allows teachers to address higher order thinking skills and ask questions that aren’t necessarily “Googleable” How about new instructional ideas....Flip Your Classroom? Hands on activities where students wrestle with tough questions during class time and listen to lectures and read notes at home...

18. Technical Considerations Potentially less desktops/laptops to support because students are bringing their own access to school...do we need beige boxes any more or....computer labs? What applications do students need access to? Could they achieve some of this using free tools like Google Docs? Potentially more traffic on your network because of the increase in devices

19. Technical Implications What are the tech policies that should be in place? Are you going to implement aVLAN for wireless devices? Can you control where students go if the bring their own access? How should you determine which technologies should be allowed in school?

20. Technical Considerations Can you save money on desktop licensing? Could you use implement something such as XenDesktop with the students’s laptops? Who supports what?
