BYOD Implementation
Plan By: Farran Cheatwood
Cherokee County BYLD Policy

Platform The platform I will use for my implementation plan is
Microsoft Office. Each student within Cherokee County is provided with their own Office 365 account. Students are able to access their account through any device that has web capabilities. Additionally, students can download the
Office 365 app for free to any device. This platform provides all students with collaboration services, communication
tools, and mobile, desktop, and web-based applications, as well as data storage capabilities.
Student AccommodationsStudents who do not have access to their own device (smart
phones, tablets, etc.) will be able to access any BYOD activities implemented by using a classroom desktop or
laptop computer.
Student Grouping• Student usage of BYOD will vary based on the nature of the activity and/or assignment
being implemented. Students will be provided with ample opportunities to work in pairs, groups, and individually.
• Examples: - Pair Tasks: Students will watch a Brainpop segment summarizing who Mohandas
Gandhi was, his impact, and beliefs. After the video, students will complete the review quiz with a partner using QuizsSocket. Students will be able to discuss and work through each question with their shoulder partner.
- Individual Tasks: Students will locate and read various Mohandas Gandhi’s biography using their mobile devices. After researching Gandhi, students will then response to the constructed response question using Kidblog.
- Group Tasks: In their assigned groups, students will create a live broadcast to depict an event of their choice pertaining to Gandhi’s strive for independence in India using Periscope.

learning by implementing photos and videos of their written work, or by importing digital creations. Every assessment is organized in
one place and is accessible to teachers from any device.

their writing to an online environment safely. Students exercise digital citizenship within a secure classroom
blogging space as teachers can monitor all activity within their
blogging community. Additionally, teachers are able to manage all posts and comments made within their class kidblog.

opportunity to broadcast live from
their smartphones or tablets, take written
comments from viewers, and share
broadcasts on Twitter.
StorybirdStorybird allows students to choose books to practice reading. It
allows students to choose books at their own reading level, topic and interest. Additionally, students can practice their writing as they can
create poems, picture books, or long form books.
PiktochartPiktochart is an infographic maker
that is user friendly. As the designer, students can use data, graphs, charts, pictures, and text
