Buy-in vs. OwnershipCommitment Rather Than Compliance
A Whole School Focus to Increase Student Learning (HEAT)
Creating a Collaborative Culture
HEAT Framework: http://loticonnection.com/
Brianna
Buy-in often equates to coercing someone to buy your product/idea
Ownership allows teachers to design the new school structures and conditions that will allow them to be more successful.8

Increased Frequency of Our Tech Duty Team Meetings (Bi-weekly to Weekly)

Defining the Duty: MP2Managing Technology
Captive Portal causing confusion
Handheld devices tax the network
DaveStudents were opening web based apps on their hand held devices so captive portals were turned off which allowed them immediate access to the internet.
One bi-product of this was that the devices now, even in sleep mode, attach to the network and consume air space and bandwidth. I refer to hand held devices as Network Leeches.
Hand held devices appear to consume more bandwidth. A traditional laptop will cache around 500MB of offline data, an iPhone will not cache any one object larger than 15 kilobytes and the maximum cache is 1.5MB. Most sites have base CSS files larger than that so every time a hand held goes to the Internet, it is like going to a site for the first time.
In the next few slides, students and staff will relate their feelings about the network.22

Student Feedback (paraphrased)Teachers should use more tools to expand learning beyond the classroom. Khan Academy and other educational resources are underutilized to expand classroom learning.
Students need to take more ownership of problem-solving on their own devices. They have low persistence to solve their own technology problems.
Brianna
Survey data from students (STAs)25
Student Survey Data (continued)
DaveStudents had issues with the network. Mostly slowness. We suspect some students use their cellular network at school and get spotty access and in turn blame it on the network. Communication and education to students on how to most effectively use their devices is key.26

The remaining are staff/student BYOT DevicesOver 80% of the student body is participating in the BYOT at some point this year
Dave:Data pulled from Cisco and Aruba controllers shows this...Devices that were seeing on our network, not nearly as many laptops as the students who were surveyed claimed they would bring to school.Library iPod Touch loaner program is a BYOD fill-in program. Two biggest downfalls are Apple ID creation for students is cumbersome and damage, repairs and payment or restitution.Growth seeing more iOS devices, especially after holidays

Adopt and AdaptMarking Period 4 GoalsInstructional Technology CoachesFaculty Members
Survey the Stakeholders: BYOD
What We Know Now
Viability in the Future
Ruth/Brianna - Survey students/community feedback on BYOD initiative whats good? Whats bad? What could make it better?
Dale - MP4 Goal alternative resource research breaking down the walls of teacher is the expert calling upon a high quality resource outside of the teacher and share with students
Panel - What We Know Now - what is/isnt working
viable? (each take a turn) consistently scheduling time for ITCs each year, funding, infrastructure, continue efforts to support students bringing their own technology, training, student involvement, 31
