Subgroup+2

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR STUDENTS MISUSING THE BYOT? STUDENTS MUST TAKE A CLASS TO EARN THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE. RENEWAL OF DRIVER'S LICENSE WILL TAKE PLACE ANNUALLY. WE WILL BEGIN WITH ONE GRADE LEVEL--9TH GRADERS? OR SURVERYING TEACHERS TO FIND AREAS OF INTEREST? ONE AT EACH BUILDING? IT WAS DECIDED TEACHERS WILL BE SURVEYED FIRST, WE WILL THEN TAKE THAT DATA AND MAKE DETERMINATIONS AS TO WHERE THERE IS INTEREST. THE BYOT POLICY BEGINS AT 4TH GRADE. MARCEY IS WORKING ON A DRAFT OF THE SURVEY. EMAIL WILL GO OUT TO TEACHERS ON MARCH 27TH. RESPONSES DUE ON MARCH 30TH. KAREN HAS PUT TOGETHER AN ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY DOCUMENT. SUBGROUP WILL READ THROUGH TONIGHT.

Kieran, Thank you for reviewing the policies, Our team will take your suggestions. Mrs. Parr

Please post progress on goal 2.

Digital Drivers' Licenses- Aimee Vorrasi (teacher) Quinn Hutchison (student)

We found four websites that gave us more information about other districts or areas that used this approach and how they implement it into their district. It was similar to Kettering's guideines but we did find many of the districts had the students also take a test. We think this holds the students accountable for knowing the policy before using it. There can be set guidelines that students would have to sign a term of agreement, but we feel this takes it another step. Also, one of the sites discussed older students training younger students through mock situations of what to do if this occurs. This would take the pressure off the teachers and this group would be able to relate to the students more on the technology topic.

The article //Point of View on Technology Drivers' Licenses// gives a short quiz and also goals, resources, activities, and extension lessons. The lessons and quizzes are based on an elementary and secondary setting. So there are two avenues that can be taken and reviewed. There is also a rubric attached to this packet. We feel that we can develop a test or quiz for students to take and also set up lessons to be presented. Information can be reviewed on the two links below. @http://www.districtadministration.com/article/point-view-technology-drivers-licenses http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/uploads/FoundAct2.pdf

We found the Wiki space titled //"Do Elementary Students Need a Technology Driver's License?"// informative because it also attached a quiz to be reviewed. It also set up nine themes that need to be addressed in the quiz. It also discusses why, where, what, when, and how the program should be implemented. Review the information in the link below. http://euclidnets.wikispaces.com/file/view/k5dcquiz.pdf

//Hot Topics in Technology// discusses social networking, podcasting, and twitter in the classroom. The link for this information is below. @http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/Resources.html

Through reviewing the Kettering packet given to us at our last meeting, we concluded that they only allow students to use Ipads or Ipod touches. They also have a borrowing system for Ipod touches and shuffles.

The following information was submitted by Paula Eby

I chatted with a representative at Apple about discount programs and buying in bulk for IPads and they provided two links to check out. The first one is for the actual Ipads themselves and the second is for Ipad apps.

However, upon checking out the sites, it appears that it would require actually talking to someone about volume purchases of the actual IPads and we would need some idea of how many to get a better idea of pricing in bulk.

While trying to determine a price per unit it did not appear much different than purchasing it directly, hence why I would like to talk to an actual representative.

I did happen across some additional information about using IPads in the classroom at

[]

Ultimately, I think it would come down to deciding what type of device and the specific requirements of that device and the number needed before I can go much further with getting a dollar figure to implement this type of program.

I also found several suggestions on ways to make the devices more affordable, such as starting programs such as lunch rounding (meaning if a lunch costs a student 2.65 round it to 2.75 and the extra dime would go into the IPad fund for example), another suggestion was fundraisers specifically for that purpose and allowing students and parents to make payments on the device so it's not all expected in one lump sum. Another site suggested setting up a fund that local business could donate to, and some of the business would compete against other business on who could raise the most money for the technology program.

Each thing I read expressed the need to get the community involved in raising funds for implementing this type of technology in the classroom to keep down costs and reduce concerns about the program.

Thanks, Paula Eby

Bring Your Own Technology Form: Kieran Wilson

I read over the Bring Your Own Techology Policy Agreement from the York County School Division. I think the majority of it is sound, but there were a few things i didn't understand. On number five where it says "Devices must use 802.11g or 802.11n WiFi." I can guarantee that no one will understand what that means. I would consider changing that or providing instructions on how to find what type you have and what type they need. My next problem was in six with the AUP. I am sure that it is a form that YCSD has, but it would be good to either erase that or give them out together. Next, was 15, "No student shall use another student's division-issued log-on credentials." I think that might be something at YCSD and I am not sure what our equivalant would be (if we have one.) My last question was on 17. I do not understand what they mean by "No division-owned academic or productivity software can be installed on personal devices." I did not quite understand what that meant.

Thank You, Kieran Wilson

From our last meeting on 2/29/12, our committee determined that our overall goal is to develop a Digital Driver's License training program for all students and staff. We originally chose the goal of accomplishing this by June 6, 2012. When we joined the rest of the committee members to discuss the overall goals for the entire committee, however, it became clear that this goal will need to be "scaled back" in terms of the time frame.

Questions to consider in the development of a Digital Driver's License training program: - what grades? ( consider 3rd to-12th for students and k-12th for teachers) - criteria for how students will earn the license - what devices they can bring in? - criteria for losing the license (point system) and re-gaining it - appropriate uses for the device - who will do the training? - how and when will it be "rolled out"

Respectfully submitted, Bill Lauson

March 7,2012 I will begin working on criteria for earning and losing Digital Driver's License. If anyone would like to work with me on this, please let me know. Karen Becker

The following timeline was established at our last meeting. The timeline is tentative and will continued to be developed.

March 30, 2012- Teacher responses (to e-mail) due back to determine interest

April 2012- TBD

May 2012- Determine acceptable devices to be carried by students

June 2012- Professional Development for students and staff planned out

July 2012- TBD

August 2012- Implement professional development for staff; Develop and finalize Acceptable Use Policy

September 2012- Develop Driver's License test; Design driver's license (*Discuss possible "in-house" production.)

October 2012- Present information to the Board of Education

November 2012- Students must pass Driver's License test

December 2012- Administer make-up Driver's License tests; Distribute Driver's Licenses

January 2013- Launch Driver's License Program
