What is the purpose of a BYOD
classroom?
The bottom line is that your child's learning
experience will be significantly enhanced and I've
outlined a few reasons below:
1. Increased motivation and engagement
2. An additional resource for gathering information
3. Multiple learning styles and presentation of
student work
4. Students can customize tools and resources they
need to help them succeed
5. They will be learning life-long 21st Century skills
that will follow them for years
What types of devices are students
allowed to bring?
• Any wireless device that has internet
capabilities such as tablets, Kindle
Fires, Smartphones, and etc.
What if my child doesn’t have a
device?
That’s okay,
it is not
required.
These devices are expensive, what
safety features are in place to protect
them?
• Students will be in charge of protecting their
own devices
• Keep them in your backpacks until in class
• Devices will be in your child’s desk when not
in use.
• High quality protective case (such as Otterbox
or Lifeproof)
Is it safe for students to be going
online and using apps at school?
• BYOD server only
• NO camera or video without teacher
permission
• NO social media sharing
• Students may not install apps or register for
Web 2.0 sites without a parent present.
Will the school be offering technical
support?
• No, as this will take away from
instructional time. If it is not
something easily remedied
students will have to take their
device home and have a parent
help them.
• Per CCSD policy, students are
NOT allowed to handle another
students device.
Edmodo
• Edmodo was created to bring education into a
21st century environment.
• The number one K-12 social learning network in
the world.
• Polls, quizzes, ask/answer questions, etc
• PRIVATE – our class only – parents can monitor
What are the rules?
• 3 Strikes and Your Device Is Out!
• If I choose to break these rules the consequences are:
• 1st time – I will not have the privilege to use my device
at school for 24 hours.
• 2nd time – I will not have the privilege to use my device
at school for 1 week.
• 3rd time – I will no longer have the privilege of bringing
my device to school for the remainder of the school
year.
