Students should sign a release for BYOD that includes what will happen in cases of theft and damaged technology
Schools should have half-sets or quarter-sets of devices so that they can go one-to-one.
A few school-wide behavior guidelines make sense:
Devices away when the teacher is talking (unless instructed to do so)
During individual assignments, students can use devices and have their headphones on
Students need to use the devices for the purpose of learning and a teacher can require a student to put it away if it becomes a distraction
Teachers can attend optional training on apps, classroom management and how to integrate the tools into the curriculum. One group had the idea of letting teachers watch a BYOD class in action, or even having a “test class” that tries it out for a quarter before going school-wide.

I concur, leaning on our PLN and connecting with them and their PLN is certainly a way in. I have done this with Jeff and others to help myself trying to overcome a number of issues with implementing 1:1 tablet in the classroom. They proved very helpful! Whilst all are important, I feel that the last is the biggest for us as teachers because it reiterates the fact that we no longer hold the key/knowledge and that our role as a teacher has change. I particularly like the point made that technology support curricular goals. Thanks for diigoing this!
