5. How will you handle the increase in
bandwidth used?
What about students who don’t have a
mobile device?
Do you need a separate acceptable use policy
for mobile devices?
Will teachers need technology training?
6. Plan for large increases in
the number of devices
accessing the internet
Get a good estimate on
the number of devices
you anticipate
Make sure your usage
policy defines correct and
legitimate usage of
devices
7. Make sure infrastructure
is adequate
Budget for additional
equipment and staff
Define network access
guidelines
Evaluate network security
8. Define when and where
students may use mobile
devices
Will students be required
to use school network or
can they use their own
service provider?
Set restrictions on what
types of content can be
uploaded or downloaded
9. Teachers may need training
in:
▪ How to use devices
▪ Integrating mobile learning
into their classroom
When will you offer training?
How much support will be
provided for students and/or
their devices?
10. How are teachers and students using their
mobile devices to enhance learning?
11. Sharing content
Creating Content
Communicating
with other students
and teachers
Study Groups
Peer Tutoring

Social Media
12. Devices such as
clickers allow
teachers to gauge
