This document outlines a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) implementation plan for a school. It recommends using Chromebooks as the platform since they are inexpensive, work well with Google software like Classroom, and have keyboards for writing. It acknowledges the school will provide devices for students who cannot bring their own in the interim until a one-to-one rollout is complete. Teachers will ensure all students have devices and may have students partner up if there are not enough. The document also discusses grouping students based on assignments and skills, and recommends several educational apps appropriate for 3rd grade students.

Side Note: The school is moving to a one-to-one platform in the next year or two, so personal devices will
not be necessary.

3. Platform to use in School
• Google Chromebooks
• The school will be using Chromebooks to
go One-to-One
• Chromebooks are relatively inexpensive,
and companies work to sell Chromebooks
in bulk, at discounted rates.
• Google Classrooms, and other google
products readily work with these devices.
• The attached keyboard is a necessity for
writing in the classroom.
• Apps are readily available and growing at
a rapid pace
• Google is investing heavily in education
products for the future.

4. Accommodating all Students
 As mentioned earlier, the school is moving to a one-to-one format, so all
students will have their own device to use.
 In the mean-time, students who do not have access to a personal device
will be allowed to use a device provided by the school. There are multiple
chrome-books to be used from the school.
 It will be the teachers responsibility to ensure each student has a device to
use.
 If the student forgets their device, and there are not enough school
provided devices to accommodate the students, then students will partner
up to complete the assignments.

5. Grouping Students
Many times, the grouping of students
will depend on the assignment.
Students will work individually to
complete assignments, but may work
with partners if they are struggling, as a
way to scaffold.
Teams may be used if it a larger
assignment with multiple elements, or
teamwork needs to be built. These may
be formed at random or based on the
individual skills of the students.
