Schools are needing increasing amounts of expensive educational technology at a time when budgets are shrinking. Many have started to explore BYOD policies - Bring Your Own Device - as a practical solution to integrate cost effective technology into their educational programs.
With the convergence of widespread broadband and the growth of powerful, platform independent web based tools BYOD has finally arrived as an effective educational alternative to other plans that require expensive purchasing and maintenance. Viewed within a realistic perspective of both its benefits and limitations BYOD can provide a workable solution for the many schools seeking to upgrade their educational technology.
Frog 13 - Microsoft - Innovative teaching and learning with BYODFrogEducation
Education continues to be the bell weather for innovation and opportunity to do things differently with technology. Consumerisation is driving change and consequently there is a demand for new ways of working, from BYOD to Flipped Classroom to MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses).
Amongst this opportunity we need to ensure that technology is indeed going to serve teaching and learning appropriately; Teachers need to be trained on how to apply these innovations in and outside the classroom.
In this session, we will share our observations on what it means to introduce BYOD to your school, the challenges, the opportunities and how to bring this all together in a well formed teaching and learning package, where you are using Microsoft technologies and services (such as Windows 8 and Office 365).

BYOD addresses the rising need for employees to be mobile and more productive. They will appreciate the ability to customize how and where they work. With a BYOD policy, businesses will rest easier knowing there’s a level of transparency and specific rules to point to when employees have questions. By clearly communicating company BYOD policies, a business will build trust and good rapport with employees while ensuring that company information remains safe.
Bring your own device (BYOD) is a strategy that allows employees and business partners to use personally owned devices—usually smartphones or tablets—to execute enterprise applications and access data. It can allow organizations to take advantage of the latest technology features and capabilities, without the pain and expense of a large-scale hardware refresh or software upgrade.
The consumerization trend is here to stay, and devices are only the beginning. By implementing a comprehensive BYOD strategy that includes robust policies, processes, resources, and education, enterprises can set the foundation for securing corporate data and providing safe, productive access. With well-supported mobility and security programs in place, companies can strike the right balance between security and usability, and leverage the next generation of consumer technology.

I Want It All (Educational Tools) for Free!Jonathan Bacon
Budgets are tight, no one can afford to buy what you can get free. As educators, we want the best, most innovative tools but we want it all for free! This session is an exporation of Rich Internet Applications (Web 2.0/RIA) tools that are free (or low cost) and enable you to store research notes, store and edit images, set-up social networks and more. The participants were invited to bring their favorite tool to share during the concluding 15 minutes of the session.
Abstract:
Proficiency in using educational technology tools is becoming increasingly important for all instructors and librarians. The question is which tools to use and how to make them a meaningful part of students’ experiences in classrooms and at reference desks. Educators should also be able to make the most of educational technology when providing services to distance education students.
This presentation will show some of the major types of educational technology tools used at the university level including screen-capture software, citation management software, research tools, course management systems, podcasting, presentation software, and Second Life. The presenter will give an overview of what technology exists, how it is used, and why it is worthwhile. Students expect more multimedia instruction both online and in-person. By using these tools professors and librarians can provide instruction that is more vibrant and interactive without sacrificing content.
10 Steps to an Affordable Educational Technology PlanSam Gliksman
Affordable educational technology needs to first be effective and therefore requires a clear educational vision that addresses the needs of 21st century learners. This holistic educational approach will then guide the direction for technology expenditures and use.

Past President, NCLCA
Technology is present in our everyday lives from e-mail to e-Commerce from Internet to Instant Messaging from Youtube videos to video conferencing from social networking to Skyping from texting to online textbooks. Technologies bring together the seemingly disparate concepts of ease and complexity. Compared to just ten years ago, we have much more ease in accessing information, resources, and multimedia, but keeping up with emerging technologies can be complex and overwhelming. Knowing what technologies your students have and how they can be leveraged to increase students' success in college can be intimidating. Emerging technologies such as social networking, multi-media sharing, collaborative workspaces, and mobile technologies are significantly changing the nature of learning and learner expectations for interaction, access, and engagement. Learning center professionals need to leverage emerging technologies in ways that can enhance they ways in which we deliver services, create resources, market our centers, manage and train staff, and evaluate our centers. This pre-conference institute will address the following:
Provide a practical guide for how to best understand and evaluate the usefulness of emerging technologies;
Introduce participants to some free technology resources that can help learning center professionals maximize their resources and outreach to students;
Discuss best practices in implementing technology innovations in learning centers; and
Help participants devise a plan for how to choose the technology tools that will help them meet their goals in managing their learning center.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. Today’s Objectives
Define the characteristics of a 21st
century learning environment
Develop a strategy for an
effective and sustainable
educational technology plan
11. Ubiquity… it’s everywhere
A recent UK survey reported that children
between the ages of 7 and 16 are more likely to
own a cell phone than a book
12. Connected – Social Networking
Facebook didn’t exist prior to 2004…
Today 1 out of every 8 people on the planet
has a Facebook page
13. If context is important…
Children starting elementary school today will
graduate in 2024
What will the world look like in 2024?
How do we educate and prepare children for a
world we don’t know anything about?
16. They’re not the same learners we were…
50 hours a week with technology
They live in a multimedia world
Their media is all color
They prioritize visual learning
They learn best through trial and error
They constantly connect and collaborate
They access information that is live and linked
17. Different learning styles…
What do you do when you open this box?
What would your students do?
They learn through experience, trial and error
24. Information Literacy (one example)
Where do I find information?
How do I know it’s accurate?
Who wrote it?
How do I organize and categorize content?

34. Can you afford to keep up…?
It took 22 years to sell 55 million Macs
It took 5 years to sell 55 million iPods
Less than 2 years to sell 55 million iPads
How long will your equipment be relevant?
35. 3 Technology access models
2. One-to-one Technology Programs
Anytime, dedicated access
Decide on equipment
Used at school, sometimes home
School purchased, parent-financed
School maintained
School controlled
Uniformity of applications
36. 3 Technology access models
3. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Anytime-anywhere, any device
Minimum standards
Parent financed
Personalized
Already common in higher education and business (72%)
Need to determine if it works for your school
Requires extensive planning, infrastructure investment
and training
37. … so you thought you were banning them??
ACSD study
69% of US high schools ban mobile devices on campus
In schools that ban mobile devices, 63% of students
use them anyway
47% say they can text message with eyes closed
38. … Yes, but how many have a “device”?
5 billion cell phone plans in 2010 worldwide,
over 30% are smartphones in USA
About 40 percent of younger teens (12-17) in
the USA have smartphones
11% of the US population have a tablet
computer – and that number is skyrocketing
39. Will the parents support it?
67% of parents would purchase mobile devices for
their children to use in school
66% support use of online textbooks
Essential to get buy-in from entire community –
including teachers and parents
Communicate…develop and deliver clear
“Responsible Use” policies detailing usage policies
40. Why decide on a BYOD policy?
Cost effective, right timing
School
No repairs and maintenance technology
More engaged and motivated students demands
Typically more robust, up to date and personalized
Greater accountability
Different learners, different needs Available
Over 30% of school IT decision makers now budgets
expressing an interest in BYOD
But there are also some challenges…
41. Control is expensive and requires that you own the devices
Old model: Controlled, filtered and exclusive environments
BYOD model: Uncontrolled and less filtered environments
42. What about security?
Create a separate, segmented network for students that only
allows access to the Internet. No internal network access.
Do I know you? Only allow access to authenticated users
43. Digital Divide
Know your population
Poll anonymously
Use savings to buy equipment
Share devices as needed
Access at home?
Devices dropping in price
44. Platform independent tools
Web based apps work on most platforms and can
accommodate common software needs … and more
Create online space for sharing and collaboration – that
works on all devices including iOS
45. Monitoring and filtering
Web filter provides internet access controls
Can impact access speed
Authentication enables monitoring
Insist on wireless use only
46. “Responsible Use” policy
Where can devices be used and when?
Rules for taking home
Browsing “do and don’ts”
Social networking policies
Messaging policies
Privacy and safety policies
Wireless network only
Authentication requirements
47. Planning your BYOD budget
Wireless infrastructure - with capacity for growth
Wiring and switches
Purchasing (or leasing) school owned devices
Ongoing faculty training
Network and traffic management tools
Content filter
48. Utilize common features
Most have apps and audio, many have video
Classroom polling and quick tests
Podcasting, radio broadcasts
Attach probes for measuring data
Digital storytelling
Email and share any media using Posterous
QR codes – quests, book reviews and more
Language learning – speaking and reading
Creating movies
Use on field trips – photos, audio, data
Data organization tools (eg. Diigo)
Posterous example – sharing media
49. Building Your Educational Technology Plan
1. Clarify your vision
2. Select appropriate technology access model
3. Invest in wireless infrastructure
50. Wireless connectivity
Essential… robust and reliable
Planning bandwidth needs is critical to success
Elements to consider:
What connection comes in to campus?
How well is it distributed within campus?
Allow for growth
As they use more multimedia, you need more download
Creating and publishing will need larger upload speeds
51. Building Your Educational Technology Plan
1. Clarify your educational vision
2. Decide on student technology model
3. Invest in wireless infrastructure
4. Create a virtual learning environment
52. “BLENDED LEARNING”:
Virtual, vibrant space for learning and knowledge exchange
blogs, discussion forums, wikis, polls, portfolios, community
interaction, live discussions
53. Building Your Educational Technology Plan
1. Clarify your educational vision
2. Decide on student technology model
3. Invest in wireless infrastructure
4. Create a virtual learning environment
5. Minimize investment in the 3 S’s
54. Minimize Investment in 3 S’s: Servers, Storage & Software
Incidentals:
• Depreciating value
• Battery backup
• Data backup
• Air conditioning
• Physical security
• Software security
• Repair and downtime
• Network consultant
• Software upgrades
Do you have a “server closet”?
• Start over - replacement
55. Minimize Investment in 3 S’s – Servers, Storage & Software
Cloud computing:
supports BYOD or any other tech. program
reduces hardware, software and IT costs dramatically
adds significant functionality
57. Why Google Apps?
Gmail, Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations etc
Free … and powerful
Free feature updates
Anytime-anywhere access
Simple sharing and collaboration
Compatibility
40 mill. users, 4 mill. Businesses
Did I mention it was free?
58. Building Your Educational Technology Plan
1. Clarify your educational vision
2. Decide on student technology model
3. Invest in wireless infrastructure
4. Create a virtual learning environment
5. Minimize investment in the 3 S’s
6. Importance of teacher training
61. Culture change is most effective swelling from
the bottom up
Send your change agents to conferences
Success is contagious. Have teachers
demonstrate and train from within
Allocate time to have workshops at school
Culture change never happens at a single event
- it requires an ongoing commitment
62. It’s not about the device… it’s what you do with it
Remember that today’s technical innovation…
quickly becomes tomorrow’s party joke
63. "If we teach today
as we taught yesterday,
we rob our children of
tomorrow"
- John Dewey
