2. Developing a successful BYOD
program requires extensive
planning, communication, and
ongoing evaluation. Although
each district is unique, with its
own cultures and concerns, a
well-defined framework will go a
long way in helping a school
initiate a BYOD program. (
N.A, 2014)
3. Today’s education system is evolving to take full advantage of the
potential of mobile technology devices to inspire learning and
create independent, critical thinkers. However, with tight
budgets, many schools are hoping to bring technology into the
classroom without the costly burden of purchasing a device for
each student. One potential solution that is being explored is
BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device. This allows students to bring
their personal laptops, tablets, and smart phones from home and
use them for educational applications in the classroom. At a time
when budgets are shrinking, school districts are considering
BYOD programs to integrate cost-effective technology into their
educational programs. It’s a promising idea, especially for schools
that lack sufficient technology budgets. BYOD takes advantage of
the technology that students already own and are familiar with.
However, BYOD programs have been met with some criticism
from staff and administrators who believe the challenges
outweigh the perceived benefits. (MORRISON, 2014)
4. CHARTS
If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of
tomorrow. -John Dewey
5. Today’s students are not the same learners that we were.
These digital natives have grown up surrounded by
computing technology as a natural part of their everyday
lives. They live in a multimedia world, they constantly
connect and collaborate, and they access information that is
live and on-demand through mobile devices.

Editor's Notes
THIS JUST LETS YOU KNOW THAT I DID MY PECHE KUCHA ON BYOD
YES WE SEE HERE THERE ARE DRAWBACKS, BUT THE OVERALL, IN THE USE OF BYOD THE BENEFITS TOTALLY OUT WEIGH ANY DRAWBACKS.
THIS JUST GOES INTO MORE DETAILS AS TO WHY BYOD IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA
HERES A CHART ON HOW EVERYTHING LINKS TOGETHER (PLANNING, LESSONS, ETC)
THIS JUST SHOWS THAT TODAYS STUDENTS LEARN DIFFERENTLY THAN WHEN WE WERE KIDS. THEY ARE MORE ADAPTABLE TO NEW DEVICES.
THIS IS JUST SOME SKIT FOR CONVINCING EVERYONE AS TO WHY IT’S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
KIDS IN PICTURES THROUGH-OUT THIS PROJECT ARE MINE.
