  1. BYOD at Ladbrooks School Information for Staff and Parents Sean Bailey and Linda Ewen November 2013

  2. Our School Vision “We prepare Ladbrooks Learners by developing values, knowledge and competencies to allow them to confidently and actively connect and contribute to their community now and into the future”

  3. Actively connecting and contributing … what does this look like in a school setting/global setting?

  4. What’s happening around us? The way students learn and acquire new knowledge and understandings is very different from when we were at school! What is different? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax5cNlutAys&feature=share&list=PL2Nrs6rglVNEy0uHYC5Ua-E2-OIUI_xJv

  5. 21st C Learning Connectivity Developing new skills and literacies Focuses on developing information literacy skills. Personalised New knowledge Physical and Virtual Learning Spaces Student Centered: Experiential Multi Media Creative Students have different styles of learning

  6. A changing World! Computing Power Today’s washing machine has more computing power than all of NASA’s computing resources when it first landed on the moon. Ubiquity (Technology is everywhere) Out of the worlds population of 7 billion 5 billion of us are cell phone subscribers. Connectivity (Social Networking) Facebook didn’t exist prior to 2004. Today 1 out of 8 people on the planet has a facebook page.

  7. If the context is important…. Children starting at Ladbrooks school today will complete their secondary schooling in 2026. What will the world look like in 2026? How will we educate and prepare children for a world we don’t know anything about?

  8. Progress we have made What are we doing at Ladbrooks to meet the needs of our students in a digital age? Over the last 12 months we have introduced a number of new initiatives. Staff Development Collaboration with other cluster schools Integration of new digital tools into classrooms (laptops, ipads and imacs) New wireless system Our network wiring and cabling has been extensively upgraded UFB (Ultrafast Broadband)

  9. Next steps ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD)

  10. What is BYOD? Bring your own device (BYOD) refers to technology models where students and staff bring a personally-owned device to school for the purpose of learning. The type of devices that students might bring to school in a BYOD model include: laptops, netbooks, tablets, smartphones, e-book readers, and MP3 players.

  11. Why BYOD? • Increased access to a personal device can enable inclusive and more personalised learning pathways through the curriculum. • BYOD can enable a connected approach to learning, placing control over learning in the hands of learners so that access to the curriculum is ubiquitous and no longer constrained by the time and place. • Our improved infrastructure (Ultrafast broadband and wireless) can now support demand from increased numbers of devices. • BYOD will impact on professional learning and teaching. Staff and students may be working together to integrate technologies appropriately so there is choice, collaboration, and opportunities to connect in ways that support learning outcomes.

  12. Advantages of BYOD?

  13. Disadvantages?

  14. Current thinking around implementation • In 2014 allow students in Year 1-8 the opportunity to bring their own device. • It will not be compulsory for students to have their own device. • We will continue to provide some devices for our students, so they will not be disadvantaged in any way.

  15. Policies and Procedures around the use of BYOD

  16. Your questions?
