An overview of the guide is indicated by numbers(0, 1, 2, ...) in a chronological order at the top.

However, feel free to browse through the BYOD padlet and search for what you need to find.]]> 2019-03-30 13:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346776250 Search for Your Board's Policy yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346777698 Each education board in Ontario should have a board guiding policy with BYOD.

Best way to find your policy is to Google:
"BYOD policy in _________ School Board"

If you are unable to find the policy through the search, read the 8 common guidelines below to guide your classroom learning.]]> 2019-03-30 13:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346777698 8 BYOD Guidelines yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346778660 Responsible Use of your Device in the Classroom

1. Teachers determine how and when devices will be used in class if allowed . If not allowed, devices must be off in class .

2. Devices used in the classroom are for school work only.Other usage of the device is not allowed unless specifically allowed by your teacher.

3. Personal devices used for school work are subject to the school division's Acceptable Use Policy. Inappropriate use of your device may result in seizure or the banning of your device for use in class.

4. Students are expected to use the school’s WiFi connection while in class, which has appropriate content filtering. Personal Data Plans should not be used.

5. Absolutely NO audio, video recording and/or photo taking unless teacher permission for school related project has been granted.

6. Personal devices should be fully charged prior to the school day. Students need to ensure that their device contains the latest OS and App updates.

7. All technical or hardware issues are the student’s responsibility. Every device is configured for your preferences - you are responsible for its suitability for use in class.

8. You are responsible for the security of your own device. The school division is not responsible for damage or loss as the result of student use of their devices.

Possessing and using personal electronic devices in class is a privilege and NOT a right.

Please respect all rules and policies.

Co-Create BYOD Rules yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346779146 Research has proven that when teachers co-create a learning environment, it gives the learners a sense of ownership in their learning.

"When students take part in developing criteria, they are much more likely to understand what is expected of them and accomplish the task successfully" (Gregory, Cameron, Davis, 1997)

The document 'Setting and Using Criteria Gregory et al. (1997)' provides a four step process for setting criteria with students:

Step 1: Brainstorm.

Step 2: Sort and categorize.

Step 3: Make and post a T-chart.

Step 4: Add, revise, refine. ]]> 2019-03-30 14:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346779146 yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346780442 Now that you are familiar with 1.

These laws continue to evolve with the forever-changing technology landscape. The use of BYOD devices causes issues of photos being taken without permission (SnapChat, etc) and videos being recorded unknowingly.

It is important to include policies and procedures regarding the use of devices (BYOD) are well-documented in the school's Code of Conduct.

Students should be reminded regularly that taking photos or videos is limited to school projects, even if it their own device.

Lessons on digital citizenship, netiquette and social etiquette and rules (at times laws) should be required annually.

See the Schools Security Deployment Guide.

Restricting access, content filtering and bandwidth controls are all possible tools to minimize the impact of security issues.

Computer studies students could be tasked with researching the issues and providing awareness to the school at large.]]> 2019-03-30 14:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346784280 BYOD for Administrators yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346785912 2019-03-30 15:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346785912 yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346791362 According to a paper published by Emmanuel C. A. Effects of BYOD on School Performance (2014) in UK,

Fact 1: 36.4% use more than one device to access School network. 36.6% has either one or no BYOD Device.

Fact 2: 72.7% of students use their mobile devices to access the School network. 27.3% of students will use other non-mobile devices (laptops, tablets, computers)

Fact 3: While no specific device (hardware) or operating system (software) was mentioned to determine the best learning outcome, Emmanuel reports that students that have the usage of BYOD scores higher (10 - 40%) for STEM courses, compared to students that do not.

Fact 4: Students' top concerns and problems associated with using BYOD:

37.5% - Poor Performance (ie. Speed/Reliability of Network)
29.17% - Data Security
13.33% - Privacy of User
5.83% - Difficulty in finding relevant information
4.17% - Loss or Damage of Device.]]> 2019-03-30 16:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346791362 Effects of BYOD on School Performance - Emmanuel C.A. yesungc91 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346796732 2019-03-30 16:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346796732 Expectations For Teachers justintpayne https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346809918 Students are not the only ones with responsibilities when allowing BYOD. Other challenges may arise, which comes with expectations and responsibilities for the teacher as well. The slideshow below outlines these expectations and some tips to overcome them. ]]> 2019-03-30 19:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346809918 deang13 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346916980 The BYOD system is an excellent system provided that all students have access to devices to bring in. But what happens when not all students have access to these devices? Does the system fail? Let's consider a computer science classroom:

Imagine, all but one student are able to bring in a laptop to do their personal coding on. This one student now would either have to share another student's computer (not giving either of them the full coding experience), or have access to a school device.

In essence, despite the socioeconomic status of children in any school, the teacher must be aware of equity issues when implementing BYOD. As such, BYOD should only be implemented if there are devices at the school that children who do not have their own devices can use.]]> 2019-03-31 17:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346916980 deang13 https://padlet.com/yesungc91/ttdk3jzklwxl/wish/346919270 Cellphones in the Classroom
