This document discusses bringing personal devices to school (BYOD). It begins with an agenda for a meeting on BYOD and 21st century learning. It then discusses pedagogical approaches and challenges with online assessments. The benefits of BYOD are outlined, including choice, accessibility, preparation for future learning. Common myths about BYOD are debunked. Minimum device requirements, safety guidelines, and a draft 2014 timeline for rolling out BYOD are also summarized.

Security/Safety Guidelines
2014 Draft Timeline
• Question and Answer Time

3. Pedagogy
• “The curriculum encourages all students
to reflect on their own learning processes
and to learn how to learn.”
The New Zealand Curriculum
• Individual learners are empowered to take
increasingly more responsibility for their
learning

4. Pedagogy
• Students are able to select their choice of
learning tool from within a flexible learning
environment to best meet their learning needs
• We have already seen a shift in the learning
from having class sets of laptops in trolleys, to
laptops within classrooms and this year
through the BYOD trial
• Having devices in classrooms allows
seamless integration of ICT across the
curriculum

5. Flexible Learning Environments
• Relating to Others
• Thinking
• Participating and Contributing
• Managing Self
• Using Language, Symbols and
Text

6. NCEA/NZQA
• NCEA/NZQA is changing.
In 6-10 years all assessments will be
online.
We want our students to succeed in the
21st century environment that is being
developed.

7. 21st Century Fluencies
• Learners need to develop 21st century
fluencies

8. Google Apps/Teacher Dashboard
• Google Apps is an easy-to-use online word processor,
spread sheet and presentation editor
• Enables students to create, store and share
documents instantly and securely, and collaborate
online in real time.
• You can create new documents from scratch or upload
existing documents, spread sheets and presentations
• There’s no software to download, and all your work is
stored safely online and can be accessed from any
computer or student owned device. This will be the
standard web platform with Teacher Dashboard to

19. The Big Question
• How can we afford to sustain the level of
technology needed to support this
direction in learning?
• BYOD supports our pedagogical direction

20. An Intro to BYOD (BYOB/BYOT)

21. Reality

22. BYOD Is…

23. BYOD Is…

24. BYOD Rationale
• Choice
– Learners are diverse. Learning styles and
preferences vary and we wish to recognise
this by allowing learners to choose the device
and applications most suitable for them.
• Anywhere / Anytime
– Teaching and learning occurs inside and
outside the classroom. We want to empower
learners to utilise tools for learning no matter
where they are.

25. BYOD Rationale
• Personalised
– By having our own devices we can each have
the tools, shortcuts, widgets and add-ons that
are the most relevant to us. Our desktops and
browsers are the way we want them.
• Preparing for the future
– Our students will move into BYOD
environments at intermediate, college,
university, work place.

26. BYOD Rationale
• Flexible Learning
– The nature of learning is changing. No longer
do we sit in rows and listen to the teacher. We
are creating flexible learning environments
that facilitate collaborative and individual
learning.
• Digital Fluency
– We are empowering teachers and students to
become digitally fluent and responsible users
of technology.

27. BYOD Myth 1
• BYOD deepens the digital divide
– “Students who do not have personal
technology devices have greater access to
school-owned technology tools when students
who bring their own devices to school are no
longer competing for that access.”
http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked

28. BYOD Myth 2
• BYOD will result in students engaging in
dangerous activities
– Our students are living in a digital world with
ubiquitous access to technology. “Without
BYOD, at the end of each school day,
students leave school and immediately turn
on their devices and explore the web, often
unsupervised”. We need to prepare them for
the digital world in which they live.
http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked

29. BYOD Myth 3
• BYOD will necessitate the standardisation
of apps and software across all devices
– Students are not widgets and don’t have to
use the same tools and do things in the same
way. When teachers work with students to
understand learning goals, they challenge
students with ways to meet them, which
enables real learning to take place.
http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked

30. Trial
• Rooms 5 and 7 trialed BYOD for two terms in
2013
• Results overall were positive
• Trial review results in pdf format are located at
http://www.sunnyhills.school.nz/e-learning

31. Trial
• Parents didn’t need to buy a device – children
brought what they already have
• Classes already had a range of equipment
including
– Laptops
– iPads
– Desktops

32. Minimum Device Requirements
• Battery Life – 5-6 hours to get through a school
day without recharging
• Weight – Light enough for your child to carry easily
• Wireless Access – must have wireless access to
internet
• Must be able to save to the device either via hard
drive or SD Card/USB device
• Laptops – must have up-to-date anti-virus
software
• No gaming hardware such as PSPs or “phones”
• Parents responsibility to make sure device meets
minimum requirements

33. Future Considerations
• Farm Cove Intermediate
– Working closely with Pakuranga College
regarding BYOD requirements
• Pakuranga College
– Website has recommendations as to device
requirements
– http://www.pakuranga.school.nz/assets/documents
– http://www.pakuranga.school.nz/assets/documents

34. Cloud Based Applications
• Your child will develop a digital toolkit
whereby they will choose which tool to use
for the particular purpose
• There are a vast amount of free tools online
such as Glogster (online poster), ThingLink
(interactive online photo), Animoto (video
slideshows), Prezi (presentations) etc

35. iPad Apps
• A list of recommended apps is on our
website
(http://www.sunnyhills.school.nz/elearning)
• Paid apps are entirely optional NOT a
necessity

36. Tracking Internet Activity
• The school has invested in a WatchGuard
system which tracks all internet activity on
your child’s device

37. Cyber Safety

38. Safety Guidelines
• Lockable storage cupboards are provided
in each classroom
-
Children need to be responsible for their own
devices. Other schools have found children
lose their jumpers but never their ‘device’.
• Classroom Culture
-
Expectations will be set as part of the
classroom culture i.e. devices should be kept
in school bags before and after school
- Classroom treaty includes ‘online’

39. Safety Guidelines
• Sunnyhills School holds no responsibility
for any loss or damage that might occur
• Parental Responsibilities
Parents are responsible for
- insurance for their device (check with your
insurance provider accordingly)
- naming equipment
- sending a device that meets minimum
requirements
• Child Responsibility
- charging device at home
- responsible for device at school

40. Safety Guidelines
• How do I keep my child safe going to school?
• We recommend devices are kept in bags out
of sight, just as you would with any
equipment such as sports gear, musical
instruments etc
• Children should be walking to school with an
adult/small groups or the walking school bus.

41. Sharing
• Your child may be involved in collaborative
group work, which could mean, whilst in that
group, your child will be in charge of his/her
device, and with your child’s permission
another child could work on the device with
your child.
• We want to promote a ‘share the screen’
environment

42. Ergonomics
• Screen time
– 20 minutes then a break looking out window
for 1-2 minutes
• Sitting properly with good back and chair
support
• Still investigating
best practise with
touch technology

43. Ergonomics
• Backpacks – heavier items should be
packed close to the back
• Don’t overfill

44. 2014 Draft Timeline
• Term 1
– Agreement Forms sent out in Week 1
– Start early term 1 - classes staggered
– Not in week 1
– Term 1 has camp for year 6 in week 4,
swimming sports, N4L etc
• Term 2
– Aim to be fully functional
