1. NJAET 2013 Fall Conference
Setting up BYOD in your School
Presented by: Sandra Paul
Director of Technology
Sayreville Public Schools

3. Federal Communication
Commission (FCC)
●
The recently released National Broadband
ACT 2008 made recommendations to the
FCC to improve education in the US by
supporting and promoting online learning
through the expansion of broadband
technology.
6. ConnectedEd Initiative
The goal of the President’s ConnectED initiative is to bring
high-speed Internet connections to 99 percent of America’s
students – which he is calling on the FCC to do within five
years.
This is not connectivity for connectivity’s sake. It is laying the
foundation for a vision of classrooms where students are
engaged in individualized digital learning and where teachers
can assess progress lesson by lesson and day by day. It’s
about creating learning environments where students can both
succeed and struggle without embarrassment, where barriers
for children with disabilities are removed, and where we can
bring the most modern, innovative, and up-to-date content
into the classroom.
7. Connected generation

15,000,000 youth use internet messaging
Twitter - Twitter is now processing 50 million Tweets a day, which
comes to about 1.5 billion Tweets a month. Royal Pingdom recently
reported that Twitter passed one billion Tweets a month last
December and measured about 1.2 billion in January. On a daily
basis, Royal Pindom was measuring 27 million Tweets a day back in
November, 2009. But the latest data comes from Twitter itself.
(2/2010)
Facebook -With over 500 million users, Facebook is now used by 1 in
every 13 people on earth, with over 250 million of them (over 50%)
who log in every day. (2/2010)

Sometimes referred to as Bring
Your Own Technology (BYOT).

20. Classroom Application
Class resources
◦
Students would be able to download all class
materials needed on a chapter-by-chapter basis
Edmodo
Teacher web
Research resources
◦
Students would be asked throughout the course of a
class period to research questions, information, or
activities (content based or researched based)
Definitions
Primary source document searches
Current events
21. Change in Pedagogy
Not only does BYOD affect the students, the
teacher can greatly benefit as well
Leads to a change in pedagogy for the teacher
It will allow teachers to better instruct their
students in an ever-changing, technologically
advancing environment
Teacher -> student based lessons

That’s why President Obama is unveiling a bold, new initiative called ConnectED, which will connect 99 percent of America’s students to the internet through high-speed broadband and high-speed wireless within 5 years.
The President also directed the federal government to make better use of existing funds to get Internet connectivity and educational technology into classrooms, and into the hands of teachers trained on its advantages. And he called on businesses, states, districts, schools and communities to support this vision, which requires no congressional action.

While districts try to find additional funding for technology integration in the classroom, students are walking into the room with devices that are capable of providing a technology rich experience that is guided by the curriculum in the district.
Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. In the course of ordinary activities, someone "using" ubiquitous computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so.
