Building an Effective School BYOD PlanSam Gliksman
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.
Moreton Bay College is a P-12 Girls’ School on the eastern outskirts of Brisbane. Three years ago the decision was taken at executive level that filtering was not the solution to our students’ cybersafety. In fact, stringent filtering was proving counter productive, as many new and potentially useful Web 2.0 sites were being blocked. The proliferation of 3G devices and the constant battle against proxy bypass sites also meant that filtering as a solution was doomed to failure. This presentation will look at the steps the school has taken to foster a climate of digital citizenship with its students inpreparation for the schools’ 1-to-1 implementation that began this year.

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).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Respect Yourself: Students will use technology resources
productively and responsibly for school relate purposes. Students will
be polite and use appropriate language, and students will consider
the information and images that they post online.
Protect Yourself: Students will be safe online and will safe guard all
personal details, contact detail, or schedule of activities for
themselves or anyone else. Students will secure their account
credentials and will notify a teacher immediately if they receive a
request for personal identifiable information.
Sample Responsible Use Policy
Statements
#txdla
17. a
• A list of devices that won’t be allowed
• A waiver of liability (so school and district aren’t responsible
for the device being lost or stolen)
• Clear statement that device must be on school Wi-Fi
• Clear statement regarding what kinds of resources students
will have access to on their devices
• Clarification of teachers’ roles, making clear that teachers are
not the tech support for every gadget
• A separate BYOD agreement listing specific rules for use
Items to Include in a RUP for BYOD
#txdla
19. a
• Procedures outlining when devices can be used
• Procedures related to teachers, parents, and students
• Clear statement that use of a BYOD device requires the student's
adherence to the school or district’s responsible use policy
• Equity of access - Students without a personal device may be
provided access to an appropriate district-owned digital device for
instructional purposes as needed.
• Clear description of the procedures students must follow in order to
obtain access with their device
• Provide statements of clear consequences for student failure to
follow the school or district’s responsible use policy and BYOD
guidelines
Create a BYOD Handbook
#txdla
20. a
CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act)
• If you are receiving federal E-rate funding on telecommunications services,
your school must be in compliance with CIPA, which means your Internet
content has to be filtered so that students are protected from inappropriate
material.
• Any school-owned computer/device must be filtered, whether it is used on
campus or off, or used by an adult or student
• Any personal-owned computer/device must be filtered if using school or
library Internet access
• May not be required: Personal-owned computer/devices that use their own
Internet access - Be careful with this. - Just because it’s not required,
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t address it!
Federal Laws & Regulations
#txdla
21. a
COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
• Applies to the online collection of personal information of children
under the age of 13
• Requires parental consent for the online collections of information
FERPA (Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act)
• Protects the privacy of student records
#txdla
22. a
1. Does your Responsible Use Policy cover student-owned
mobile devices?
2. Is your BYOD usage policy consistent with other policies
(Responsible Use, Student Handbooks, Board Policy) in
your district?
3. Has your district attorney reviewed it to be sure it is
adequate?
4. Are you in compliance with relevant regulations?
5. Is your Internet content filtered sufficiently?

Opening school doors to student and staff devices will create
heavy demands on your network infrastructure.
• Will the network be able to handle large a number of devices
simultaneously, for example, at the beginning of class periods
when students log on to the network at the same time?
• Will students be able to rely on network access 24/7?
• How will you ensure enough bandwidth to handle multimedia
applications?
Network Considerations
#txdla
26. a
Also consider that BYOD brings with it a host of security concerns,
including data protection and compliance with the Children’s
Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
• How will you protect student information and avoid data security
conflicts?
• How will you protect your network from viruses and malware?
• Will students be protected from unsolicited email and
inappropriate sites?
• How will you monitor Internet usage?
Security Considerations
#txdla
28. a
• Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth
• Check with your provider to see if scalable bandwidth is possible
(and cost)
• Segment networks into guest and repositories of services
• Be prepared to throttle student and teacher network activity to ensure
support of high-priority activities
• Apply for eRATE funds to assist with infrastructure upgrades and
security
• Possibly block specific activities at specific times of the day
• No magic formula – you have to monitor
• Budget for…and then add some!
Infrastructure Suggestions
#txdla
30. a
Although mobile devices offer many advantages, such as anytime—
anywhere learning, there may be times when students need to use a
computer to access district programs not supported by mobile devices.
• Will you open the door to all types of mobile devices? Or do you set
minimum standards?
• How will you know what type of devices students have or will bring?
• How will students access files that teacher give them that are not
supported on their mobile device?
• Are the applications students will be using device agnostic?
• How will students use district software programs that require a
computer?
Mobile Devices
#txdla
31. a
Schools that implement BYOD programs must also provide mobile
technology solutions for students who do not have their own device,
and they must support the mix of the school’s technology with the
students’ own devices.
1. How will you provide for students who don’t have a mobile device?
2. Will you consider a program that allows for purchasing or leasing
school-owned devices, including costs for upgrading, repairing, or
replacing the devices regularly?
3. Will you seek out donation programs for new and used equipment?
School-Owned Devices
#txdla
33. a
• Survey students/parents to get an idea of type/number of devices
• Survey teachers to identify their use of specific devices
• Only allow devices that can be inspected by admins
• Discuss with content departments the integration of devices in curriculum
and lessons
• Start collecting device specific resources
• Wifi only? Device with data package?
• Plan on surge of new devices after summer and Christmas

Device Suggestions
#txdla
35. a
Without proper planning, implementation, and professional
development, BYOD may not live up to its expectations.
Simply inviting students to bring their own devices into school does
not raise achievement; rather, it’s how teachers choose to
implement the devices that can determine if a BYOD program
succeeds or fails.
Providing Professional
Development
#txdla
36. a
• How will professional development plans be developed and
carried out?
• How much time will you spend providing teacher training?
• Do teachers have time built in their schedule for collaboration
with other teachers about tech issues and/or BYOD
implementation? If not, will you consider it?
• Are there outside professional development opportunities
teachers can attend or you can bring to your school?
• Is there staff in place to deliver professional development?
Professional Development
Considerations
#txdla
38. a
• PD will make or break your BYOD implementation
• Include students (when possible) in teacher PD
• Provide PD in as many methods as possible
• PD must be where the learning occurs (campus-based, throughout
the day, modeling/coaching, etc.)
• Ongoing and sustained (not a one time event)
• Expectations tied to PD (not a ‘sit and get’)
• Locate your trail blazers and have them
pilot your BYOD – the next year they’ll be
vital as curriculum developers and trainers
• Budget for…and then add some!
Professional Development Suggestions
#txdla
40. a
Students will bring their own devices if the curriculum (and staff) supports
their use.
• How does technology support the curriculum?
• Is the district curriculum built to incorporate BYOD? If not, who will build
the curriculum?
• Do teachers have access to coaches, who will work with teachers and
administrators to support BYOD implementation in the classroom?
• Will teachers build online sites that can be accessed through each
student’s mobile device?
• Will assignments be posted online?
• Who will train students on Internet safety, search strategies, copyright,
and netiquette? Will this be built into the curriculum?
Building Curriculum
#txdla
42. a
• Start a repository for curriculum departments and teachers
to add their projects, lessons, photos, videos, and success
stories (behind firewall?)
• Start simple
• Start slowly
• Solicit samples from trail blazers and highlight their efforts to
integrate BYOD devices
• Refer to this site during PD, faculty meetings, and planning
times
Curriculum Suggestions
#txdla
44. a
Teachers may be more comfortable with a traditional technology model,
which offers controlled environments.
• Will you provide ongoing support for staff members who are
responsible for implementing the program and procedures on a daily
basis?
• How will teachers successfully manage a BYOD environment, which
is often uncontrolled and requires effective classroom management
strategies and a greater depth of knowledge about technology?
• What tips and suggestions do you have for daily management of
devices?
• What will the classroom norms and routines be?
• What are the consequences for inappropriate use?
Classroom Management
#txdla
46. a
• Set up guidelines such as:
– Use of a device during the school day is clearly at the
discretion of teachers and staff.
– Students are to put the devices away when asked to do so.
– Clear instructions to students that using devices during the
instructional day is in support of their activities.
• Make clear to students that their use of a device must not
disrupt the learning of others.
• Involve the students in the integration of devices in your lessons.
• Be open to new ideas and new ways of using the tools that
come to your classroom!
Classroom Management Suggestions
#txdla
48. a
• Support is different than professional development
• Support is to bridge the PD sessions
• Create clear, user-friendly wiki or Google Site with various supports
• Must be well organized, concise, easy to access
• Involve teachers and students in creating simple video tutorials (no longer
than 5 minutes!)…possibly during an after-school club
• Develop simple way for teachers to request help
• Students will figure ‘it’ out
• You are doomed if you are expecting teachers to figure ‘it’ out
• Ask the teachers what type(s) of support would be most meaningful
• Make support information available to parents and students (where
appropriate)

• Listen to others (Twitter: #BYOD, #edtech, #BYOTchat)
• If you cannot attend a conference, see if you can identify BYOD
presenters to go to your school
