Buy-in vs. OwnershipCommitment Rather Than Compliance

A Whole School Focus to Increase Student Learning (HEAT)

Creating a Collaborative Culture

HEAT Framework: http://loticonnection.com/

Brianna

Buy-in often equates to coercing someone to buy your product/idea

Ownership allows teachers to design the new school structures and conditions that will allow them to be more successful.8

Defining the Duty: MP2Recognizing Need for Student Participation (Student Tech Assistants)

Increased Frequency of Our Tech Duty Team Meetings (Bi-weekly to Weekly)

MarkExplain need for STAsExplain need for weekly Meetings21

Defining the Duty: MP2Managing Technology

Captive Portal causing confusion

Handheld devices tax the network

DaveStudents were opening web based apps on their hand held devices so captive portals were turned off which allowed them immediate access to the internet.

One bi-product of this was that the devices now, even in sleep mode, attach to the network and consume air space and bandwidth. I refer to hand held devices as Network Leeches.

Hand held devices appear to consume more bandwidth. A traditional laptop will cache around 500MB of offline data, an iPhone will not cache any one object larger than 15 kilobytes and the maximum cache is 1.5MB. Most sites have base CSS files larger than that so every time a hand held goes to the Internet, it is like going to a site for the first time.

In the next few slides, students and staff will relate their feelings about the network.22

Student Survey Data

Survey data from students (STAs)23

Student Survey Data (continued)

Brianna


Student Feedback (paraphrased)Teachers should use more tools to expand learning beyond the classroom. Khan Academy and other educational resources are underutilized to expand classroom learning.

Students need to take more ownership of problem-solving on their own devices. They have low persistence to solve their own technology problems.

Brianna


Student Survey Data (continued)

DaveStudents had issues with the network. Mostly slowness. We suspect some students use their cellular network at school and get spotty access and in turn blame it on the network. Communication and education to students on how to most effectively use their devices is key.26

The remaining are staff/student BYOT DevicesOver 80% of the student body is participating in the BYOT at some point this year

Dave:Data pulled from Cisco and Aruba controllers shows this...Devices that were seeing on our network, not nearly as many laptops as the students who were surveyed claimed they would bring to school.Library iPod Touch loaner program is a BYOD fill-in program. Two biggest downfalls are Apple ID creation for students is cumbersome and damage, repairs and payment or restitution.Growth seeing more iOS devices, especially after holidays

Adopt and AdaptMarking Period 4 GoalsInstructional Technology CoachesFaculty Members

Survey the Stakeholders: BYOD

What We Know Now

Viability in the Future

Ruth/Brianna - Survey students/community feedback on BYOD initiative whats good? Whats bad? What could make it better?

Dale - MP4 Goal alternative resource research breaking down the walls of teacher is the expert calling upon a high quality resource outside of the teacher and share with students

Panel - What We Know Now - what is/isnt working

viable? (each take a turn) consistently scheduling time for ITCs each year, funding, infrastructure, continue efforts to support students bringing their own technology, training, student involvement, 31
