member classes September 2012

• Start with pilot groups in the Elementary, Middle and

High school buildings January 2013

• Invite more teachers to participate in the pilot

September 2013

• BYOD will be available to all students in all buildings

LMTSD Steps toward BYOD

Spring 2012  Pre‐Professional Development with high school faculty on 3/30/12 to discuss BYOD technology  Identify a small group of trailblazers in the district to begin testing BYOD  Enlist staff for BYOD Pilot in Fall  Survey Staff and Students  Begin Policy Procedure changes  Work with Curriculum to help teachers adapt how they teach

LMTSD Steps toward BYOD

Fall 2012  Staff Development to review BYOD implementation

• ptions and opportunity for innovation

 Clarification of administrative policy changes to remove hurdles for students as they relate to technology usage  Clarification of teacher freedom & autonomy in classroom instructional decisions  Schedule additional professional development

LMTSD Steps toward BYOD

• Network infrastructure with wireless demands
• Policy (AUP) modifications
• Teacher acceptance
• Equity
• Theft

BYOD Challenges

• New wireless network was created in 2010 and

allows for separate student/guest network.

• Completed a wireless evaluation to ensure that

there are enough wireless access points.

• Student personal devices will be in a restricted

VLAN with Internet access only

• Increased Broadband access to 30G in 2011
• Increase further in 2012 to 75G

Wireless Security/Broadband

• Comcast Internet Essentials Program
• Provide a Parent Purchasing Program
• Kuno
• Apple

BYOD Equity Assistance

• START SMALL … and expect obstacles.
• Involve parents and students from the beginning

– Explain how BYO‐devices will be used in the classroom – Execute a survey for students and parents. – Involve students in policy revisions – Hold a Parent night

• Establish a website to communicate BYOD

BYOD Design for Success

Often it is not the ‘change’ that is feared. It is the unknown place we find ourselves as we journey through the process. Avoid FUD ‐ Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt FUD is generally an attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative information.

An interview with Sonya, a teacher who just finished her first year teaching, where she was asked questions about POD's: Personally Owned Devices that students bring to school and the need for educators to start using them in the classroom.
