This document summarizes the process of implementing a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) program at Cinnaminson High School. It discusses forming a technology committee to research BYOT, surveying students and teachers about technology use, addressing concerns about BYOT, piloting the program in 9 classes, and ongoing evaluation through meetings and feedback. The goal of BYOT is to allow students to use their own devices for schoolwork in order to prepare them for a world where technology is ubiquitous.

Mission Statement: The mission of the Cinnaminson
School District is to educate our students and to assist
their development into self-motivated, multi-faceted,
happy and physically fit individuals who are productive,
responsible citizens. It is expected that all students will
achieve the Core Curriculum Content Standards at all
grade levels.
With national and state program standards as a basis,
Cinnaminson students will gain an appreciation of
knowledge, a desire to learn, and a respect for
themselves and others. In partnership with the family
and the community, we will foster achievement and we
will model excellence and responsible behavior.

Developed goals for program
8. Students MORE likely to have remembered devices than
pencils etc
Can use the device THEY have chosen to complete set
tasks.
Technology is ubiquitous outside the school gates. Why
not inside too?
When students use their own devices, they take care of
their own 'training.'
Offers potential cost savings since fewer school devices
are needed.
Allows student & teacher to swap roles.
Extends the tech resources already provided by school.
Encourages purposeful choice of appropriate
tools/apps.
Couldbe pivotal in supporting independent learning.
On average BYOD can help keep pace with ever-
updating tech

9. Students leave chargers at home. Devices run out of power.
Exacerbates issues of inequity of access.
Students forget to bring devices
BYOD will encourage students to be 'off task’
Applications/tools are not common to all platforms
BYOD runs up against many schools' 'ban em' policies
Expensive personal devices increase possibility of theft
Planning for a lesson with devices whose capability you don't
know needs more care & thought
Teachers will need instructional PD in getting the most from
BYOD
Accessing school network can present problems with
WiFi/Proxy settings etc.
