Our Current Approach Regarding Student Owned Devices
17.
18. The Big Priorities
Source: USDOE – Karen Cator
Improve Access
Make sure everyone is connected - has access that is consistent like electricity
Manage Print to Digital
Make sure content is digital, organized and accessible
Focus on the front lines
Make sure teachers have access - tools, resources, content, parents, experts
Continuous Improvement
Make sure there is constant focus on R&D, evolved evidence, technology transfer
19. Online Learning
Mobiles
Cloud Computing
Collaborative Environments/Online
Communication Tools
Personal Web and the Free Agent Learner
20. Access to Technology should be like access to Electricity
98% of BPS classrooms will have classroom technology
associated with Sunrise Standard
Due to refreshment program all schools have better than a
5:1 overall computer ratio
Use of student owned devices could get you to the magical
1:1 ratio when needed
21. Budget
Professional Development
Policy
Security
Distractions
Time
To name just a few…..
25. Student Wireless Network
Policy Updates
Student Owned Devices
AUP
Internet Bandwidth Expansion
Computer use outside of classroom not
uncommon – Internet cafes
26. We have a 4:1 to 3:1 average but we would
like to do better
May be necessary in the near term to bring
student owned devices to preserve
technology enhanced instruction
Technical, security, equity, logistical, and
legal concerns are a reality

A few teachers
A School Improvement Plan Strategy
Experiment and Innovate
29. “If we continue to use technology in a manner
that reinforces what has always been done in
education, we will continue to receive the
same results as in the past. Technology has
the potential to empower students to increase
the their rates of learning in the classroom by
reforming the instructional process of
teachers”

Notes de l'éditeur
Bringing Student owned devices is not the panacea or long term solution but it can serve a purpose
Technical concerns about having different platforms, systems, and devices are real
There continues to be a wide range of security issues
Logistacal challenges ranging from students forgetting to bring devices to bandwidth or drop outs
Legal concerns about cell phones vs internet devices, cipa, and others are all realities
