8. What is BYOD?
Wikipedia says:
a concept where people use personally owned devices which are not
owned by their employers or schools
Bring relates to bringing the device to the environment where the
service is provided. In some cases it is physically limited to a
location (wireless, certain rooms), but more often it is time and
location independent.
Your refers to the person bringing the device.
Own refers to device ownership of students and teachers.
Devices include smartphones, tablets, ereaders, laptops, etc.

Someone next to you - any experience with personal devices, reading about them, tried it, teachers?
We hear about innovation all around us today. But . . .
High School - 3 teachers, one still engaged at the end of the year 2 elementary schools - one - technology magnet school, person to work with the technology and another to work with curriculum integration. Spring - portable devices - one ipad and ipods
Weaver Lake - portable devices WD - laptops/netbooks
One junior high school - entire team was there because students had gone to the principal.
Osseo Sr. High School - fully open - other H.S. - informally open. Elementary - BW, FB, WD, WVR, CV, EB, RC, ZW, PL, Some putting their toes in the water - OAK, RL, RC Primary schools - FO, CI - probably won’t adopt it - others that haven’t adopted - PB, BG, GC
Importance of listening to teachers.
Add a poll here by both Poll Everywhere and Google Forms Free Accounts - Poll Everywhere - limits Google Forms - if you have apps for education, this is part of the package. Otherwise teachers can set up private gmail accounts. Naiku - Minneapolis company

Interesting note - Students who misbehave are often the ones that are never expected.
48 percent of low-income families have a home computer compared with 91 percent of higher-income families,
Qualcomm, “Project K-Nect” - Phones given through grants One of the programs to come out of the Wireless Initiative helped students at several North Carolina schools achieve higher test scores. The schools’ math scores were below national standards, possibly because many of the students lacked Internet access at home. With grant funding from Qualcomm, “Project K-Nect” provided ninth grade students with smartphones, which they could use to access additional instructions and collaborate with their peers, at any hour of the day. After one year, the students who had the phones saw a 30% increase on their test scores.

Much the same idea - access to information for students.
We have to be leaders.
If you like to keep dry and comfortable, BYOD may not be the place for you.
