NSWDEC BYOD Literature Review

Defining Goals

• The desire to provide 1:1 access for students

• For students that do not have access to a BYOD device, it will make access to school-based computer resources spread less thinly.

• Digital text books and resources

BYOD is not the answer to every school’s

technology needs. Ensure you have read the Literature review

and considered all other technology

options in the process of going BYOD. In the

end going BYOD needs to have teaching and learning as the core

driver.

What is driving the implementation of BYOD in your school community? Have you consulted the literature and seen what has been done by others?

NSWDEC BYOD Literature Review

Defining Goals

• Option 1

• BYO Dedicated Device

• Option 2

• BYO Selection of Devices

• Option 3

• BYO Anything

Choosing a BYOD model that will have

the most positive impact upon

student learning is vital. Consider the

options presented in the BYOD literature review to determine

which is the best model for your

school community.

Have you considered the type of BYOD model that will suit your school community?

Models of BYOD

Defining Goals

brings purchase costs down

assists teachers in their planning as they know the device capabilities.

limits options for families

results in decreased compliance

no existing student personal connection with the device

Models of BYOD

Defining Goals

allows families greater choice

results in increased compliance.

teachers are aware of the device capabilities for their planning.

technology support can be more problematic with a variety of devices

there may be no existing student personal connection with the device

Model 2: Limit devices to specific requirements: e.g. must run specific software or apps or operating system, have a minimum size RAM and hard drive etc.

Models of BYOD

Defining Goals Model 3. BYO anything you own: Any personally owned device provided it is internet ready

Reduces costs greatly for parents

Greatly increases compliance.

Student personal connection with the device.

In practice this has proven to be the model requiring the least technical support as it must be left mainly to the students themselves.

Teachers cannot know the capability of every device

Others argue that browser based apps help to overcome these problems.

The teacher “will be required to focus on the learning and leave the technical challenges to the student, who knows (or must learn to know) his own device” (Alberta Education, 2012).

Collaborative Planning

• One useful way to do this is through your student SRC! You may like to use the base presentation to inform students of what BYOD is and how it affects them

If students are consulted in this process they will

take additional ownership and responsibility for the

success of a program.

Have you consulted the SRC to ascertain their comments about a BYOD program and the types of information and support students will need to work effectively in a BYOD environment?

Collaborative Planning

•Do they have a device their child can utilise?

•Do they have concerns over the use of devices they consider “gaming machines”?

•Preparing a newsletter insert and running an information session/forum in addition to a parent survey would be a useful way to inform, consult and assess the feelings of the parent body

For a BYOD program to

work successfully

you will need the support of

your parent body.

Have you consulted your community about BYOD?

• Survey staff to see how they feel about BYOD and use the links and resources to assist in the change management process

Many teachers will be unsure of what a BYOD program is

and will be confronted by the

variation of devices,

applications and programs.

How do your teachers feel about moving to a BYOD program? Are they ready?

Professional Learning for students, parents and teachers

• To enable this and empower teachers a professional learning plan will improve teacher confidence and readiness

• Who will lead the professional learning for BYOD in your school?

To deliver positive learning

outcomes with a BYOD program

teachers need to feel comfortable with a move to

BYOD.

Have you developed and/or implemented a professional learning plan to upskill your teachers to work in a BYOD environment?

achievements, expectations and

planning will ensure you are able to keep

them on side throughout your BYOD journey!

Is your Infrastructure / Network Ready

• NB If you are in a NSW DEC Secondary school the DER network can support a BYOD program

• Public schools (K-6) will need to consider their wireless requirements, particularly in relation to coverage and capacity.

• NSW DEC wireless standards should be followed to ensure ongoing support is provided.

In order to implement a BYOD program students and teachers will need to connect

their devices to the internet. You will

need to see if your wireless

infrastructure can support a BYOD

program.

Do you have a Wi-Fi network to support BYOD?

Is your Infrastructure / Network Ready

• Ensure all students are asked to install anti-virus and malware protection before bringing hardware to school

If Windows laptops are considered to be

suitable as a BYO device, it is essential that each device has

up-to-date anti-malware software and all important Windows updates

installed.

Have you considered Equity?

• A good way to start is to survey students/parents to find out what devices they are willing to bring

This is an equity concern. Students

will need to be able to complete tasks

even if they do not have their own

device.

Do you have supplementary devices to be loaned to students who do not have access to a BYOD Device?

Have you considered Equity?

• Consult with your P & C and school funding partners concerning other options available to implement an equitable BYOD solution in your school

• Sponsorship from local companies

Consider a 50/50 funding model

(school pays half and parents pay

half)

Have you considered alternative funding options for parents and the community?
