Why BYOD?

• Increased technology access for students
• Encourage academic use of personally owned technology
• Students are more confident with their own devices and

can choose their own tools/programs/apps

• Appropriate use of technology,

also known as Digital Citizenship, can be naturally incorporated into learning

When Can Students Use Devices?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Students can use their devices when a teacher:

 gives them permission

• r

 asks them to use devices for a class activity/assignment

• Teachers will design well-thought-out classroom activities and will

monitor student device use

• Device use during school hours should be academic in nature
• During the school day, students should not:

 receive or send texts  place or answer phone calls  update social media sites

• Students may not use their personal devices in a class where there is

a substitute teacher

When Can Students Use Devices?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• There will be areas of the school where

students cannot use their devices.

• Device-Free Zone signs in will be

posted in areas such as:

– Restrooms – Locker Rooms – Cafeteria – Campuses may also designate other Device-Free Zones

• Students will be expected to respect

these zones.

What Will Students Do With Their Devices When They Aren’t Being Used?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• In a classroom where the teacher

has not given permission to use the device, a student should: – silence and/or turn off the device – put it away as instructed by the teacher – Leave it in a locked school locker, if available

How Will Devices Be Used?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

Devices will be used for educational purposes with teacher permission. Examples:

• Participate in a lesson designed by the teacher
• Take notes during a class lecture/discussion
• Complete a writing assignment
• Do research
• Complete a project
• Use a calculator app/program
• Read an eBook
• Teachers and students

will discover more uses together!

What About Students Who Don’t Bring Devices?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

Teachers are aware that not all students will bring a device and understand how to plan for a lesson involving devices.

• When an activity doesn’t require every student to have

a device, the teacher will:

• Facilitate collaborative groups, so that each group has access to

a student device or a GISD device

• When every student needs a device for an activity, the

teacher will:

• Check out campus devices, such as iPads or laptops, to ensure

that each student has a device

• Go to the computer lab, where every student can use a GISD

computer

Can Students Record or Take Pictures of Their Teacher or Other Students?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Whether they are in class or not, students must get permission from a

teacher and the people being recorded or photographed before recording or taking pictures.

• Recordings and photographs should never be posted online or shared

via email, social media, or any other tool without teacher permission.

• Even with permission, photos and recordings should only be posted to

approved sites for educational purposes.

How Will Students Get Online With Their Device at School?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Students must use the GISD ENGAGE-STUDENT

wireless network to access the Internet with their device at school.

• If they have 3G, 4G, or other data access on

their device, they are required to turn on their wireless and/or deactivate their data connection.

• Students may only connect one device at a time to

the ENGAGE-STUDENT network.

Internet Filtering

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• When students are using the GISD ENGAGE-STUDENT wireless,

their Internet access will be filtered just like it is when they are using a school computer.

• Some websites and services they are used to accessing outside of

school, such as social media and gaming sites, will NOT be available to them.

• No filter is perfect, though. Students will still be held responsible

if they purposely try to access inappropriate or blocked websites.

Internet Access

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Through the GISD ENGAGE-STUDENT wireless, students have

filtered access to the Internet

• Students cannot:

 Print documents to GISD printers from their personal devices  Save documents to their GISD network Home folder (H: drive) from their personal devices  Access any folders, files, computers, or servers on the GISD network  See or access any other students’ personal mobile devices through the network

What if Batteries Die?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Students should fully charge their

batteries overnight before bringing devices to school.

• If a battery dies, teachers may choose

to let students charge devices in their room.

• Power outlets are limited.
• Students must have their own cords

with them for charging.

What if Students Have Technical Problems With Their Device?

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Teachers and other GISD

staff members cannot help students with their devices.

• If students experience

technical problems with their devices, they will need to:

• consult the owner’s

manual

• ask parents to assist them

at home

Theft, Loss, Damage, or Charges

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• GISD is not responsible for theft, loss, or damage to

student devices

– If a student’s device is stolen, lost, or damaged by another student, contact a campus administrator or SRO – It is important to report the theft or loss so the campus can return the device to the student if it is turned in – Campus administration will not be able to investigate each incident

• GISD is not responsible if you receive extra fees

from your Internet provider for data or text usage

– If students use ENGAGE-STUDENT wireless as required, they should not have any extra data fees – Students should not be texting during the school day unless directed to do so by a teacher for an educational purpose

Keeping Student Devices Safe

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Record manufacturer, model, and serial number at home
• Label device, peripherals, and accessories with student’s

first and last name

• Protect tablets and smart phones with durable cases to

protect against drops and being carried in a backpack

• Carry laptops and netbooks in a cushioned bag or

backpack designed for protecting them

• Install tracking software or apps to help locate the device

if it is stolen

• Install anti-virus and anti-malware software or apps
• Keep device locked in a school locker
• Take the devices home at the end of each day

Students Must Follow GISD Rules

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Students are responsible for following the:

 Student Code of Conduct,  Technology Responsible Use Policy, and the  BYOD Guidelines while using their device

• Failure to follow these rules could result in disciplinary

consequences and loss of the privilege of using their personal devices at school

Students Should Practice Good Digital Citizenship

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• Never use the device in a way that:

 interferes with their learning or others’ learning  violates the rights of others  invades another person’s privacy

• Never use their device to:

 cheat  violate school rules  harass or bully students or staff  for anything that is against the law

• Never take or share photos or videos that reveal

private parts of anyone’s body

• Never store pornographic images or video on the

device

Digital Citizenship Lessons

www.georgetownisd.org/byod

• As part of the BYOD initiative, GISD has chosen to use

lessons from Common Sense Media digital citizenship lessons with students

• Each campus is responsible for ensuring students are taught

the lessons designated for their grade level each year

• Lesson plans can be accessed on the BYOD resource web

page
