What is BYOD?

• BYOD is an acronym for Bring Your Own Device.• A “device” is defined as a privately owned

laptop, tablet computing device, netbook, notebook, e-Reader, iPod Touch, iPad, or smartphone.

• For this program, “device” also includes any similar product owned by CCPS and provided for student use.


Why BYOD?• Our students are digital natives and live in a world

where information creation and consumption is constantly occurring.

• We feel that access to the tools and resources of a world-wide network and understanding when and how these tools are appropriately and effectively used are imperative in each student’s education.

• We envision a learning environment where technology is a part of us, not apart from us.


When will BYOD begin?

Phase 1 classroom implementationbegan in August 2013.

Phase 3 will begin in August 2014.
