- 14. BYOD 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.
- 15. BYOD 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.
- 16. BYOD Rationale • FlexibleLearning – 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.

- 18. BYOD 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
- 19. BYOD 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
- 20. BYOD 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. http://neal.school.nz/community/news/7-myths-about-byod-debunked
- 21. Trial • Rooms 5and 7 for two terms with a parent/school review in the middle of term 3 • At this stage children can bring one device (must meet minimum requirements) • Parents don’t need to buy a device – children bring what they already have • Rooms 5 and 7 already have: – 5 laptops (mix of Apples and PC) – 1 desktop – 2 iPads
