As schools prepare for common core assessment implementation, they must also address the need to include BYOD in their plans. Though BYOD might not be used for the assessment, it does provide significant benefits to schools for differentiation and individualization of content directed to each child’s need as indicated by the assessment. It is important that every school technology leader knows how BYOD can enhance the teaching/learning process and provide resource strapped schools with much needed tools. The challenge of preparing for common core assessments is hard enough; however, with the advantages that BYOD provides, it behooves all school technology leaders to tackle the issues involved with a BYOD initiative. In this webcast you will learn how SchoolDude can help ensure that your district is technology ready for the common core assessment, as well as, for the rise in BYOD.

15.  School technology leaders have to look at their value to the organization
first as an educator.
 Provide tech solutions to problems that have been identified on the
instructional or operational side.
 Data management is becoming more important as it is used to measure
student growth.
 Identify what the technology department is doing and how it ties into the
classroom.
 Ensure your tech staff knows why it is there. It is not simply to keep the
equipment running.

16.  Establish a strategic partnership between curriculum and technology
in your school district. Meet regularly, set objectives that are
measurable and ensure that all stakeholders are aware of your
plans.
 Allow curriculum leaders to provide input on the technology budget
for learning resources. Set metrics to determine the relative impact
of purchases so that future procurements will have the desired
impact.
 Calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) for technology
purchases. This should include costs for installation, configuration,
as well as, soft costs associated with related internal staff duties.

27. Gartner Says Bring Your Own Device Programs Herald the
Most Radical Shift in Enterprise Client Computing Since the
Introduction of the PC. – Gartner Press Release 08/28/2012
While BYOD programs can reduce costs, they typically do not.
As businesses look to drive ever more capability to the mobile
device, the costs of software, infrastructure, personnel support
and related services will increase over time. Once companies
start including file sharing, business applications and
collaboration tools, the costs to provide mobile services go up
dramatically. – Gartner Special Report "Bring Your Own Device:
New Opportunities, New Challenges."

important in the learning process because
