BYOD - What does this mean to you?
“If we teach today as we taught
yesterday, we rob our children of
tomorrow.” - John Dewey
“We are currently preparing
students for jobs that don’t
exist using technologies that
haven’t yet been invented in
order to solve problems we
don’t know we have.”
James Melsa, 2007

– When can students use devices?
• To do what?
– Define expectations.
– Know the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
– What procedures will I put into place?
• Pre-existing procedures
• “Devices Down”
• Expect full attention
– It’s your classroom
• Teaching and Learning
Instructional Technology
Planning for teachers
• Curriculum
– How will the devices impact my
teaching?
• New resources and web tools
– How often should I use them?
– Curriculum drives the technology
tool.
• Technology tools “enhance” the
teaching and learning process.
• Let students take the lead.

Useful Analogies for
Understanding How BYOD is
Managed
• The Tooth Brush – it’s something we
don’t share
• The Parking Lot – we made the
space, protect it, and offer it, but
there are lines, rules, and norms to be
followed or use/access is not
guaranteed
• The T-Shirt, Backpack and Locker –
displayed images and the contents
are subject to school rules and are
susceptible to search
