Initial Stage
Students MORE likely to have remembered devices than pencils etc
Can use the device THEY have chosen to complete set tasks.
Technology is ubiquitous outside the school gates. Why not inside too?
When students use their own devices, they take care of their own 'training.'
Offers potential cost savings since fewer school devices are needed.
Allows student & teacher to swap roles. Extends the tech resources already provided by
school. Encourages purposeful choice of appropriate
tools/apps. Couldbe pivotal in supporting independent learning. On average BYOD can help keep pace with ever-
updating tech
Benefits of BYOT
http://www.proconlists.com/list/education/byod-in-schools/863
Students leave chargers at home. Devices run out of power. Exacerbates issues of inequity of access. Students forget to bring devices BYOD will encourage students to be 'off task’ Applications/tools are not common to all platforms BYOD runs up against many schools' 'ban em' policies Expensive personal devices increase possibility of theft Planning for a lesson with devices whose capability you
don't know needs more care & thought Teachers will need instructional PD in getting the most from
BYOD Accessing school network can present problems with
WiFi/Proxy settings etc.
