Network Issues in a Massively Mobile District #BYOT
http://bit.ly/11DR97E
Facing Down Network Issues in a Massively Mobile District
With nearly 8,400 school-owned and bring-your-own devices (BYOD) running at any given time, the IT team at Eanes Independent School District knows a thing or two about the value of high uptime. In fact, this Austin, TX-based district has spent the last three years tweaking its WiFi setup to the point where it currently boasts 99 percent uptime and widespread access across nine schools.

4 Big Concerns About BYOD In Schools
Millions of dollars are spent across the United States in order to update classrooms, labs, and staff development rooms every year. By implementing a BYOD policy, this money can be spent towards other improvements and educational needs.
However, there are a few snags that can get in the way of implementing such a drastic change for a school district. Safety, security, and affordability to families are among some of the pressure points that need to be addressed before such a system can become live.

BYOD Handbook
This bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach raises many questions, in addition to promising many benefits. How do you know if such a policy will work for your school? What do you do about kids who don’t have devices? Will teachers accept this change in their classrooms? Is your broadband service strong enough? If not, can you afford to upgrade? In other words, how can you best put such a program into place?
We talked to school administrators and technical officers to find out the best practices they have learned from their BYOD implementations. Their advice is gathered here, along with checklists to help guide you on the path to BYOD.

Whether you’re researching, planning, implementing or managing a BYOD project, ClassLink’s BYOD Guidebook and BYOD Resource Library will help you navigate the complete process.
The BYOD Guidebook touches upon the following areas of interest specific to K-12 education providers ....

BYOD Case Study: George Spencer Academy
http://bit.ly/10NogaR
BYOD Case Study: George Spencer Academy
George Spencer Academy is a mixed secondary school in Nottingham, England, with 1350 students aged 11-18.
The school decided to go down the BYOD road in order to be able to explore the potential of personal devices without incurring costs of purchase, training or technical support.
The idea also fits very well with the school’s vision, which is concerned with giving a personalised learning experience to all students.

BYOD Case Study: Les Quennevais School
http://bit.ly/10NnM4r
BYOD Case Study: Les Quennevais School
Les Quennevais School, or LQS, is an 11-16 secondary school in Jersey, with 785 students on roll. It is situated in a suburban, mixed catchment, area on the west of the island.
There were three reasons that the school decided on a BYOD approach.

BYOD Case Study: St Crispin’s School
http://bit.ly/10NnhY7
BYOD Case Study: St Crispin’s School
St Crispin’s School is a slightly larger-than-average secondary school serving the town of Wokingham, England. An 11-18 school, it has 1102 students. The number of students with special education needs is about average, whilst the proportion of students from ethnic minority backgrounds is below average.
At present, BYOD is going on in the form of a trial for Sixth Form (ie senior) students. Although the trial was due to end in July 2012,

BYOD Case Study: The Arnewood School Academy
http://bit.ly/10NmI0o
BYOD Case Study: The Arnewood School Academy
The Arnewood School Academy is a secondary school in the New Forest town of New Milton, in Hampshire, England. An 11-18 school, it has a total student population of 1200, including 240 in the Sixth Form.
Interestingly, the school has only recently started to adopt, or at least consider, a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. However, that bald statement belies the amount of groundwork and, if you like, ethos, that has supported this toe-dipping into unknown waters.

BYOD Case Study: Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital
http://bit.ly/10NmfLO
BYOD Case Study: Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital
The Children’s Hospital School is a Foundation Special School located on two sites, one at Great Ormond Street Hospital and the other at University College Hospital. Situated in central London, the school has an average roll of between 130 - 140 students aged 5-18, many of whom are long stay or recurring patients.
From the school’s point of view, the potential benefits of implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scheme are that patients are familiar with their own technology, software and devices, some of which may be very specific to their particular learning need and requirements.

BYOD Case Study: Sheffield High School
http://bit.ly/10NlUsv
BYOD Case Study: Sheffield High School
Sheffield High School is a private girls’ all-through school, ie ages 4-18, in the urban setting of Sheffield, England. It has around 1000 pupils.
The school makes for an interesting case study in that it has not yet actually implemented a BYOD programme. The groundwork has been laid, with the school working with its parent organisation, the Girls Day School Trust, to ensure that its networking infrastructure is robust enough to support the intended developments.

BYOD Case Study: Wildern School
http://bit.ly/10Nlu5l
BYOD Case Study: Wildern School
Located in a suburb just outside Southampton, England, Wildern is an 11-16 secondary academy with just over 1850 students, which is quite large by English standards.
Wildern School has partially implemented Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD. Students may bring their own devices in as long as the teacher and head of department concerned have agreed that phones and other devices would be useful in a particular lesson.
The school finds BYOD an attractive proposition because of its inherent flexibility and, of course, personalisation. But what really stands out about Wildern is the prime instigators of this development: the students.

BYOD Case Study: Tideway School
http://bit.ly/10NkXAo
BYOD Case Study: Tideway School
Tideway School is situated in the town of Newhaven in East Sussex, England. With around 600 students on roll, it is smaller than the average secondary school, but has a higher than average proportion of pupils with special educational needs, or who are entitled to free school meals.
In late 2011 the issue of mobile technologies and their use in school began to be discussed at a senior leadership team level.
However, the school resisted the temptation to race headlong into improving the infrastructure in order to allow students to use their own devices to access lesson and learning resources, because the benefits of doing so in terms of either pedagogy or learning gains were not self-evident.

Challenging the Model of 1:1 with BYOD
http://www.edutopia.org/blog/challenging-one-to-one-model-amanda-paquette
Challenging the Model of 1:1 with BYOD
In 2012 my school district in Vermont ventured into a sort-of BYOD/1:1 hybrid program. We realized the importance of allowing our students access to technology to enhance their learning, but the infrastructure wasn't in place to tackle a traditional BYOD. And we, like many if not all schools, were also constrained by budgets, so a traditional 1:1, where each student receives the same device, was also out of reach.

10 Real-World BYOD Classrooms (And Whether It’s Worked Or Not)
With budgets tight, many schools are hoping to bring technology into the classroom without having to shell out for a device for each student. A solution for many has been to make classes BYOD (short for “bring your own device”), which allows students to bring laptops, tablets, and smartphones from home and to use them in the classroom and share them with other students.
It’s a promising idea, especially for schools that don’t have big tech budgets, but it has met with some criticism from those who don’t think that it’s a viable long-term or truly budget-conscious decision.

BYOT? Bring it on
An international forum for all schools seeking to make the best use of BYOT.
All the case study schools we examined in the UK, US, Australia, and NZ that had normalised the use of the digital in the classroom were moving naturally to a model of BYOT.
In researching and writing BYOT, one of the first international studies of BYOT in schools, what struck us was the reality that in time every school in a Western democracy will adopt some type of BYOT, and that it is already apparent this development will have a profound impact.
