and BYOD

7. Making the most of your Budget
There are a lot of companies after your money. What should we
consider before making a purchase?
• Does your school have the infrastructure to support multiple
devices?
• Decide what tablets you will buy: iPads? Android devices?
Windows RT Which versions? This may depend on how you wish
to use them. Are there platform specific apps you want to use?
• 1:1 or class sets?
• Talk to other schools. Where did they get theirs from? What was
the service like? Did they get discount?
• Will you pay for device management software or use free
software?
• Do you have an expert in school that can provide training
or will you outsource?
• BYOD

8. Supporting Colleagues
It is exceptionally important to support members of staff and
provide training. If colleagues are not confident and do not see
the value of tablets, the initiate could be doomed to fail.
• Begin with a launch. Make is a big deal. Ask keen members
of staff to take part. They can then demonstrate the power of
tablets and how they can support teaching and learning.
• Each department could have tablet 'leaders'. They will be
given full training and begin to work with, and support other
department members.
• Provide training material like video tutorials.
• The person running the initiative can suggest new
and exciting apps and way they can be used in departments/
whole school.
• AUP.

9. Supporting Students
Students will also need supporting
• Training resources
• Training could be done by members of staff or
digital leaders
• Students will need to buy into mobile devices, just
like staff
• Explain why we will be using iPads
• Communicate with parents
• AUP

11. Monitor and Evaluation Tablet Use
Before deciding to splash out on a lot of expensive devices you
could run a small scale trial.
• Ask teachers/departments to submit an idea for a project
using iPads to support T/L. What are the learning objectives/
outcomes?
• Create an online (or offline) form for teachers to submit their
ideas. Keep track of what dates these projects will run.
• Create online (or offline) evaluation forms for students and
teachers. After each project ask them to complete the forms.
• Analyse the results from each project and decide
whether the trail was a success.
