student byo plan - Here is a sample plan template:


 * When at school or at home, I will use my cell phone appropriately for learning in following ways:
 * I will use my cell phone to:
 * The tool I will use is:
 * This will help me learn better because:
 * How will you know your plan is working?
 * Did your plan work? (To be completed at the end of a lesson or unit of study)

Bring Your Own...


 * school rules, kids with devices ? 1/4 so each group has access to one
 * activities - web-based - google form to submit results > spreadsheet with whole class to compare
 * email, text > blog, tweet
 * create apps, forms

Why


 * kids have their own phones with them everywhere, all the time - take ownership, in pocket so less likely to be lost or misplaced
 * use the tools at hand in any capacity - there should not be a distinction between learning and the business of living - a pencil has uses beyond as a learning device and a TV has a place in education
 * tool for exploring the world - Those who cannot claim computers as their own tool for exploring the world never grasp the power of technology [1]
 * learning is the free and open-source version of education. It's about individuals connecting to knowledge and pursuing their passions among peers and guides with fewer constraints--time, place, cash, or otherwise. [2]
 * anywhere, anytime, maximize time on task - don't have to wait to learn or be in a particular location, no specific time
 * on-demand, powerful, controllable, connected, interactive, multimedia, multi-functional, kid-size

What


 * Questions that need to be asked (and addressed)
 * Shared experience, expertise, advice, requests, reference, resources
 * Wiki for collaboration
 * Forum for educators' exchanges

Good questions


 * What works? What doesn't?
 * What are some best practices that minimize start-up problems?
 * What are good "first" projects to gain experience?
 * There are going to be problems. What to expected and how to handle the "usual" ones?
 * Who are the stakeholders? School administration, IT department, teachers, students, parents (K-12), community? What are their concerns and requirements?

Network Considerations...

i.e. eduroam accounts for all vs. individual institutional accounts 1 microcell vs. tens/hundreds of routers
 * Schools as (community) Access points to the larger network (colleges, unis) vs. Schools as (institutional) Islands
 * Architecture = Direct access to inter-institutional "cloud" vs institutional client/server.
 * Who is the customer? Parents, teachers, students, local community, all citizens?
 * What services are required/shared (with other institutions)? Digital libraries, real time (Audio/video)stuff, virtual lab visits, co-production/collaboration tools?
 * Security and access go together. How many levels? For teachers, for students, for content/service providers, for techs, for wider community.

 * Are you ready for BYOD? - primarily concerned with network infra-structure, administration, security and capacity
 * 6 Steps for Increasing Student Access with BYOD - Before students can bring their devices to either of the district’s two middle schools, they must attend a meeting with their parents. At the meeting, the tech team shares the history of the program, defines expectations and liabilities, shows students what they can do with the device, assists students in connecting to the wireless network and answers any questions they have. Parents leave the meeting with their concerns addressed, and everyone is on the same page. After turning in their permission forms, students receive a sticker for their devices that indicates they are “wireless-certified.”
 * 10 Real-World BYOD Classrooms (And Whether It’s Worked Or Not) - stories of schools that have tried out BYOD programs seem to be largely positive, allowing educators and students to embrace technology in learning regardless of the limited resources they may have at hand. ... Android devices are used the most, followed by iPods, iPhones, and iPads. One of the coolest aspects of the OHLSD program? The school also built a virtual desktop system which can be accessed through any device students or teachers bring into school. So far, the virtual desktop and the BYOD program has saved them $1.27 million.
 * OLPC in Peru - this is relevant even though the kids aren't using their own devices. There are plenty of good lessons here. All the higher ed and North American schools are worried about their network security and in many cases this is a barrier that is not easily overcome. However, this stands in the way of much more important issues like teacher interest in using any of the technologies and applications and training for those who would consider having kids with their own devices turned on in the classroom.
 * BYOD Leadership Implications - Our school has embraced a Bring Your Own Technology/Device approach to enhancing the use of technology for our students and teachers. For the past two years we have had a soft or "organic" launch to this policy. For this coming fall, we officially launch our BYOD initiative. As we prepare for an anticipated surge in personal devices, there are some important details that needed to be addressed. I'll call them leadership implications. ** specifically teach internet and digital citizenship - see school website for more resources
