PedagogyPedagogy

• “The curriculum encourages all students to reflect on their own learning processes and to learn how to learn.”

The New Zealand Curriculum

• Individual learners are empowered to take

increasingly more responsibility for their

learning

PedagogyPedagogy• Students are able to select their choice of

learning tool from within a flexible learning environment to best meet their learning needs

• We have already seen a shift in the learning from having class sets of laptops in trolleys, to laptops within classrooms and this year through the BYOD trial

• Having devices in classrooms allows seamless integration of ICT across the curriculum

Google Apps/Teacher Dashboard Google Apps/Teacher Dashboard

• Google Apps is an easy-to-use online word processor, spread sheet and presentation editor

• Enables students to create, store and share documents instantly and securely, and collaborate online in real time.

• You can create new documents from scratch or upload existing documents, spread sheets and presentations

• There’s no software to download, and all your work is stored safely online and can be accessed from any computer or student owned device. This will be the standard web platform with Teacher Dashboard to manage classes within Google Apps.

The Big QuestionThe Big Question

• How can we afford to sustain the level of technology needed to support this direction in learning?

• BYOD supports our pedagogical direction

An Intro to BYOD (BYOB/BYOT)An Intro to BYOD (BYOB/BYOT)

RealityReality

BYOD Is…BYOD Is…

BYOD Is…BYOD Is…

BYOD RationaleBYOD Rationale• Choice

– Learners are diverse. Learning styles and preferences vary and we wish to recognise this by allowing learners to choose the device and applications most suitable for them.

• Anywhere / Anytime– Teaching and learning occurs inside and

outside the classroom. We want to empower learners to utilise tools for learning no matter where they are.

BYOD RationaleBYOD Rationale• Personalised

– By having our own devices we can each have the tools, shortcuts, widgets and add-ons that are the most relevant to us. Our desktops and browsers are the way we want them.

• Preparing for the future – Our students will move into BYOD

environments at intermediate, college, university, work place.

BYOD RationaleBYOD Rationale• Flexible Learning

– The nature of learning is changing. No longer do we sit in rows and listen to the teacher. We are creating flexible learning environments that facilitate collaborative and individual learning.

• Digital Fluency – We are empowering teachers and students to

become digitally fluent and responsible users of technology.

BYOD Myth 1BYOD Myth 1• BYOD deepens the digital divide

– “Students who do not have personal technology devices have greater access to school-owned technology tools when students who bring their own devices to school are no longer competing for that access.” 

http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked

BYOD Myth 2BYOD Myth 2• BYOD will result in students engaging in

dangerous activities 

– Our students are living in a digital world with ubiquitous access to technology. “Without BYOD, at the end of each school day, students leave school and immediately turn on their devices and explore the web, often unsupervised”. We need to prepare them for the digital world in which they live.

http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked

BYOD Myth 3BYOD Myth 3• BYOD will necessitate the standardisation

of apps and software across all devices

– Students are not widgets and don’t have to use the same tools and do things in the same way. When teachers work with students to understand learning goals, they challenge students with ways to meet them, which enables real learning to take place.

TrialTrial

• Rooms 5 and 7 trialed BYOD for two terms in 2013

• Results overall were positive

• Trial review results in pdf format are located at http://www.sunnyhills.school.nz/e-learning

TrialTrial

• Parents didn’t need to buy a device – children brought what they already have

• Classes already had a range of equipment including

– Laptops– iPads– Desktops

Minimum Device RequirementsMinimum Device Requirements• Battery Life – 5-6 hours to get through a school

day without recharging

• Weight – Light enough for your child to carry easily

• Wireless Access – must have wireless access to internet

• Must be able to save to the device either via hard drive or SD Card/USB device

• Laptops – must have up-to-date anti-virus software

• No gaming hardware such as PSPs or “phones”

• Parents responsibility to make sure device meets minimum requirements

Future ConsiderationsFuture Considerations

• Farm Cove Intermediate– Working closely with Pakuranga College

regarding BYOD requirements

• Pakuranga College– Website has recommendations as to device

requirements– http://www.pakuranga.school.nz/assets/docu

ments/Device-Guide-for-Parents.pdf

Cloud Based ApplicationsCloud Based Applications

• Your child will develop a digital toolkit whereby they will choose which tool to use for the particular purpose

• There are a vast amount of free tools online such as Glogster (online poster), ThingLink (interactive online photo), Animoto (video slideshows), Prezi (presentations) etc

iPad AppsiPad Apps

• A list of recommended apps is on our website (http://www.sunnyhills.school.nz/e-learning)

• Paid apps are entirely optional NOT a necessity

Tracking Internet ActivityTracking Internet Activity

• The school has invested in a WatchGuard system which tracks all internet activity on your child’s device

Cyber SafetyCyber Safety

Safety GuidelinesSafety Guidelines• Lockable storage cupboards are provided

in each classroom

- Children need to be responsible for their own devices. Other schools have found children lose their jumpers but never their ‘device’.

• Classroom Culture- Expectations will be set as part of the

classroom culture i.e. devices should be kept in school bags before and after school

- Classroom treaty includes ‘online’

Safety GuidelinesSafety Guidelines• Sunnyhills School holds no responsibility

for any loss or damage that might occur

• Parental Responsibilities Parents are responsible for - insurance for their device (check with your

insurance provider accordingly)- naming equipment- sending a device that meets minimum

requirements

• Child Responsibility- charging device at home- responsible for device at school

Safety GuidelinesSafety Guidelines

• How do I keep my child safe going to school?

• We recommend devices are kept in bags out of sight, just as you would with any equipment such as sports gear, musical instruments etc

• Children should be walking to school with an adult/small groups or the walking school bus.

SharingSharing

• Your child may be involved in collaborative group work, which could mean, whilst in that group, your child will be in charge of his/her device, and with your child’s permission another child could work on the device with your child.

• We want to promote a ‘share the screen’ environment

ErgonomicsErgonomics

• Screen time – 20 minutes then a break looking out window

for 1-2 minutes

• Sitting properly with good back and chair support

• Still investigating best practise with touch technology

ErgonomicsErgonomics

• Backpacks – heavier items should be packed close to the back

• Don’t overfill

2014 Draft Timeline 2014 Draft Timeline

• Term 1– Agreement Forms sent out in Week 1 – Start early term 1 - classes staggered– Not in week 1– Term 1 has camp for year 6 in week 4,

swimming sports, N4L etc

• Term 2– Aim to be fully functional

DocumentationDocumentation

• Bring Your Own Device agreement

• Minimum device requirements
