BYOD Defined...�
Calhoun County Schools defines BYOD as a privately-owned, Internet capable electronic mobile device (see handbook for specific devices that can be brought to
school) that can be used during the school day to increase student engagement and facilitate learning.

What are the Drivers for �Creating Mobile Learning Environments? �
DRIVERS�
List Items from participants that are Drivers
Why Not Create Mobile Learning? �
• 21st Century Learning
• Students have access outside the school day
• Need more devices in classrooms
• Students need to be engaged
• Research is showing that technology has an impact on student learning
• Becoming more feasible
• As technology advances, so do the opportunities for mobile learning
• Attitudes of educators, parents and policy-makers are increasing
DRIVERS�
Essential Conditions �
• Visionary Leadership and Commitment
• Robust Technology Capacity
• Professional Development
• Scalability
• Policies that Promote and Support the Initiative
Visionary Leadership�
• Promote NOT as a technology initiative but as an educational initiative
• Include all stakeholders (curriculum, technology, parents, students, teachers)
• Set clear goals, intended outcomes, expected benefits and risks
• Identify curricular goals
Robust Technology Capacity�• Analysis of capacity of existing
technological infrastructure
• Plan for new demands,
• Must have wireless access on campus
• Security and Privacy Considerations
Professional �Development�
• Most teachers not trained in connecting curriculum to mobile learning
• Teachers must be able to use mobile technologies to change teaching and learning
• Not about replacing print resources with digital ones
• Can’t have an over reliance on the technology to produce results
• Must have fundamental changes in instructional strategies
• Teachers need constant support
• Funding must be included as part of overall plan for PD
The 5 C’s �
“I don’t have time to integrate technology into my classroom.”
“I already have so much to do, I can’t add one more
thing to my day.”
“I don’t know what technology integration looks
like.”
What Teachers Say...�
“We need more time to discover; discover new Web tools, discover new websites, new delivery
methods.”
“We need opportunities for innovative learning projects to be discussed and
planned.”
“We need time to assimilate new concepts, like student involvement in unit
development.”
“We need to continue to develop resources that introduce effective technology to our
staff.”
EdTech Toolbox (4-‐30-‐2011) 8 Ways to Support Teachers Integrate Technology
Scalability�
• ‘Start Small, Think Big’ Mentality
• Small scale will help decrease risk and hasten recovery
• Technology capacity should be addressed at the outset
• Gain momentum from the small successes
Policies that Promote Initiative �
• Acceptable Use vs. Responsible Use
• Don’t make policies too restrictive (ie, the types of devices allowed)
• Language should be more INclusive than EXclusive
7 Habits of Highly �Effective Education Leaders �
• Create an Atmosphere that Inspires Innovation
• Foster Collaboration
• Be Open to New Ideas
• Be a Connected Learner Yourself
• Locate and Provide Adequate Resources
• Take Risks
• Have a Visionary Focus
Top 10 Don’ts �
• Don’t Wait till the last minute to train staff
• Don’t expect it to go perfectly the first day
• Don’t roll out every app known to man at the same time on the same day
• Don’t try to control everything -- these are not PC’s
• Don’t expect teaching to change immediately
• Don’t assume the entire community will be on board
• Don’t evaluate the program solely with test scores
• Don’t limit staff training to the summer
• Don’t expect email to be the best option for submitting work
• Don’t let fear overcome your mission!

SAMR Model�
The four levels of the SAMR model:Substitution: the computer stands in for another technological tool without a significant change in the tool’s function.Augmentation: the computer replaces another technological tool, with significant functionality increase.Modification: the computer enables the redesign of significant portions of a task.Redefinition: the computer allows for the creation of new tasks that would otherwise be inconceivable without the technology.
developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura
SAMR Model�
SAMR Model�
• What will I gain by replacing the older technology
with the new technology?
SAMR Model�
• Have I added a feature to the task process that could not be done with the older technology at a fundamental level?• How does this feature contribute to my design?
SAMR Model�
• How is the original task being modified? • Does this modification depend upon the new technology? • How does this modification contribute to my design?
SAMR Model�
• What is the new task? • Will it replace or supplement older tasks? • How is it uniquely made possible by the new technology? • How does it contribute to my design?
Do Your Classrooms Look Like This? �
Or, Do They Look Like This...�
The Gold Key that Unlocks Learning... �Professional Development �
Research Says: It takes 12 Days of Professional
Development with Teachers to change their teaching
practices to include transformative technologies
in the classroom.�
Our Challenge �
? �
How do we create a rigorous, relevant, student–centered learning environment that better prepares all students for
the 21st Century?!�
We should not keep students prisoners of their teacher's past by
blocking and banning them from using the tools and sites they need
to succeed in the real world.-@InnovativeEdu Lisa Nielsen!

6th Grade Science ALCOS Standards!Science (2005) Grade ( s): 6 2.) Describe factors that cause changes to Earth's surface over time. Examples: earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering, erosion, glacial erosion or scouring, deposition, water flow, tornadoes, hurricanes, farming and conservation, mining and reclamation, deforestation and reforestation, waste disposal, global climate changes, greenhouse gases • Comparing constructive and destructive natural processes and their effects on land formations Examples: - constructive-volcanic and mountain-building processes; - destructive-erosion by wind, water, and ice • Distinguishing rock strata by geologic composition Examples: predicting relative age of strata by fossil depth, predicting occurrence of natural events by rock composition in a particular strata

EdTech Toolbox (4-‐30-‐2011) 8 Ways to Support Teachers Integrate Technology
Procedural�
TEACHERS ROLE!!
Teachers are facilitators of learning. Therefore, they should not spend time fixing technical
difficulties with students’ personal devices in the classroom. Teachers should educate and
provide guidance on how to use the device, but are not responsible for technical support. !
Procedural�
SAFETY FIRST!!
Students should connect their device to the CCSPOD network. Watch for those students who have mobile plans on their devices and
make sure they are connected to the CCSPOD network -- this ensures that their Internet is
being filtered.!!
Teachers must incorporate responsible use of devices as part of classroom instruction.!
Procedural�
CHARGING DEVICES!!
Students should come to school with their device fully charged. If a student needs to
charge their device, it will be up to the classroom teacher to decide if they can or not.!
Procedural�
SECURITY AND DAMAGES!!
Calhoun County Schools is not liable for any device that is stolen or damaged. Students and parents should LABEL their devices/cases with
personal markings to identify the device.!
Procedural�
Universal Statement across the district for:!!
Eyes on the Teacher!�
“Hands Up”�
this means that students should raise both hands and look at the staff member �
Procedural�
Universal Statement across the district for:!!
Put Your Device Away!�
“X-Out”�
this means that students should put their devices away.�
Procedural�
Students are NOT ALLOWED to!download apps at school!
!Teachers should NEVER say to a student “you
HAVE to have this app.”!!
Encourage students to download apps at home prior to coming to school.!
!Provide a list of apps that you would encourage parents to download for their child. But do not
make it mandatory.!
