  • 10 BYOD Classroom Experiments (and What We’ve Learned From Them So Far)
  • What can Holy Trinity teach us? That when it comes to BYOD, it pays not to be overly strict with how the devices can be used in the class, as greater freedom allows teachers to work with students to develop the best uses for technology for their subject matter and teaching style.
  • BYOD requires much more than just changing tech policies and can sometimes mean overhauling the curriculum and spending money training teachers, though it does help students create a more personal and memorable learning experience.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • At Mankato, the BYOD program relies heavily on Google Docs and other tools that aren’t platform specific and that serve information to any Internet-accessible device, which points to one of the biggest problems with BYOD: managing a variety of different tech platforms
  • Students can only use devices during times that are approved by teachers and cannot use class time to troubleshoot tech problems.
  • The school also built a virtual desktop system which can be accessed through any device students or teachers bring into school
  • stop trying to battle cell phone use at school and instead decided to integrate the phones into lesson plans for eighth-graders and high school students.
  • BYOD at KISD demonstrates that while technology can be a distraction, it can also be an amazing learning tool that can not only interest students but also help them to become higher achievers.
  • school district encourages students to take the lead, inviting them to make videos that demonstrate acceptable and unacceptable use of personal phones and computers.
