DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

Q1: Do you currently allow students to use their own devices in your classroom? If so, to what extent? If not, why? #utedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

Hi everyone. Love my iPhone and my Chromebook. Shout out to my PLN students! #UTedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

#UTedchat My favorite device would have to be my iPhone 6 plus. Use it all the time!

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

@miller_jessica5 I also teach 1st but the kids do use chrome books daily #utedchat

miller_jessica5 Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

#UTedchat From GSD, and ETEP- I put apps on my classroom devices for my students.

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:05 PM EST

Look at all these answers that are smartphones! Remember when a phone was just a phone? Love the all in one devices now! #utedchat

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

@MotazNashawaty cool I'd be down to listen I am free until 4 Inshaa'Allah

ckirgan5 Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

A1 No we don't use them. Discouraged by district. Only use district devices. Cell phones don't work in most of Eureka. #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

A1 Since my Ss are all higher ed/ adult learners, the BYOD model has been the norm for several years. We all want access 24/7! #UTedchat

tbarnlrn Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

A1 no BYOD in my classroom, both because of many students w/o and concerns of management. #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

I allow students to use their phones for certain assignments but have them off for others. #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:06 PM EST

#UTedchat A1 cont. That's not just any phone. That's my iPhone!

MrsMTanner Jan 27 @ 11:07 PM EST

I'm Maggie, and I love my smart phone, but my chromebook comes in a close second! #Utedchat

MrsMorris5th Jan 27 @ 11:07 PM EST

#UTedchat Checking in! Love my Iphone!

KelsiessWilson Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

@DaniKSloan We use ipads in our classroom to play spelling, reading and math games and as a reward to on task students #utedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

#UTedchat My Ss are adults, so BYOD is highly encouraged. Use for all types of uses!

CatHancock2000 Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Catherine here. Love my iPhone! Mac is a close second. #utedchat

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

@DaniKSloan I guess I should read the whole ? my fav device I own is my Iphone and mac book #UTedchat

NielsonAlison Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

Hi! I am Alison. I don't have many devices to speak of but my favorite device right now is my ipad. #UTedchat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:08 PM EST

#UTedchat I am a second grade teacher. I use an I-pad because I have used it for testing and at home.

miller_jessica5 Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

#UTedchat Jessica from GSD SLC. 1st graders don't need devices. I have classroom ones they can use. #UTedchat

This is Kareena! Tech specialist from Granite District. I love my Moto X andoid. Syncs my google everything! #UtedChat

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

Thanks Jared! #UTedChat

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

@DaniKSloan A1 My students are only 4th graders, they don't use their own devices. We provide devices in the classroom for them. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1: I have adult Ss, we openly talk about how we use devices as off task tools or for digging deeper for a topic. Balance is key. #utedchat

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

My iPhone is my favorite device! It keeps me connected to the world! #UTedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

@tbarnlrn I agree but I also have 1st graders but the school provides us with chrome books which are used daily.What a great tool!#UTedchat

SkylockSocial Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

Hi. Sky Blaylock, running late. Working on a PhD in EdTech. I like my new Mac Air :-) #utedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:09 PM EST

A1: Yes! I'm higher ed: BYOD for learning activities or engage Ss in using our devices. When they whip out phones, they're bored #utedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:10 PM EST

#UTedchat A1: I like to let my S's have a "tech break" every so often to get their tech "fix" & play words with friends w/ Alec Baldwin.

Alexmaley040895 Jan 27 @ 11:10 PM EST

Alex checking in! I am a student at Utah, and I love my iphone. I don't think I would make it through college without one! #utedchat

iPadpalooza Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

Howdy #UTedchat! Got a great mobile learning story to share? We need some Utah Educators this summer! #iplza16 https://t.co/FRv8Xt9MiD

camiscott23 Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

I sent my first tweet ever and it did not post to utedchat because I didn't #tag it! I don't know if I will ever get this! #utedchat

RJLoweut Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

@RJLoweut A1: No BYOD in Sevier District - only dist. approved devices. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

@profbutcher Funny, that's how I know if like/dislike a tv show, if I want to pull out my phone while I watch. Fits class too #UTedchat

MrsSamMitch Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1: It's easier to run into complications with Elementary students to BYOD, but higher ed - awesome! #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:11 PM EST

#utedchat When we go to UCET we will see that many us are using at least two devices often 3.

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

A1: yes, Ss can BYOD at the schools I'm in but it varies per class how they are used or not. #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

@SkylockSocial #UTedchat AWESOME SKY!

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

@miller_jessica5 A1 The chrome books are provided by the district. I would not want to be responsible for the students device #utedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

Fun to see my kids create fun projects on their devices at home. I wish they had more chances to create while at school. #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

A1: I try to educate Ss about divided attention. Helps to realize that there is a cost for multi-tasking (even for dig natives!) #UTedchat

miller_jessica5 Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

#UTedchat I use multiple devices all the time. #UTedchat

miller_jessica5 Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

#UTedchat I use multiple devices all the time. #UTedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

@camiscott23 I am right there with you. This is my first and I stressed about using it all day the right way lol. #UTedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

Could #byod allow students more creation and exploration time at school? #utedchat https://t.co/BPHnQaXjj3

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

katietd13 Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

#utedchat I love my iphone and use it a bunch. I also love my ipad even if it is old and has issues. I used an ipad with second graders.

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

Tech blurs boundaries. I'm on #utedchat w/ phone at a Utes game. Therefore OK to watch Utes game on phone at work? https://t.co/IisaixuNyh

naymarlyn5 Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

I agree I think balance is the key word. We live in a mobile-electronic world so our students need to be trained. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:13 PM EST

@profbutcher Exactly balance is key. The real question: Can you really multi task? I say not as much as you think #UTedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:14 PM EST

Yes! How can we help younger students to manage time and recognize when they're splitting their attention? #utedchat https://t.co/GIdrzJvZCS

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:12 PM EST

A1: I try to educate Ss about divided attention. Helps to realize that there is a cost for multi-tasking (even for dig natives!) #UTedchat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:14 PM EST

@MrsSamMitch only because elem kids don't all have devices, but that is changing. #UTedchat

Chronicbeard Jan 27 @ 11:14 PM EST

a1: I'm lucky to be in 1:1 laptop school, so yeah, we use devices a lot. #UTedchat

CatHancock2000 Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

@DaniKSloan A1. I teach a math and a literature class. I don't use any technology for these classes at school's direction. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

Q2: What are some positive things about students bringing their own devices to schools? #utedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

@camiscott23 You are doing fine. Even #utedchat veterans forget the # sometimes. Glad you are here

miller_jessica5 Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

@shannawells91 My Firsties are just learning how to use Chromebooks. #UTedchat

ksteedtech Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

A1: Ss already have devices in the lab. As a T I didn't let them use home devices. Wanted more mgnt & didn't have ideas of sites. #UtedChat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

I know perception is kids only play games. My 5th loves to make videos with her friends. Especially using iMovie trailers. #UTedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

@shannawells91 @camiscott23 This is my first time too. Dreamt about it all night (nightmares?)#utedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

@MrJFawson Almost universally true! Everyone thinks it is bad in general, but they are better than average. They aren't. #UTedchat

pamturley55 Jan 27 @ 11:15 PM EST

Pam from Nebo checking in. Sorry to be late. #utedchat

Chronicbeard Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

My newest plan is to have students create Google Cardboard 3d photos in my photo class with their phones. #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

I think #byod can bring more relevancy to assignments. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

@profbutcher Right! We all condemn it in others but think we can do it more successfully, not true. #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2: They are familiar and comfortable with own device. More likely for them to replicate activities/processes outside class. #UTedchat

camiscott23 Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

Cami Scott. GSD. I teach first grade! I have iPods, fire tablets and leap pads for my first graders. GSD has no BYOD #utedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:16 PM EST

#utedchat A2: students are already familiar with using the device

MrsSamMitch Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

@Karkenkam depends where you teach - the majority kiddos I work with are lucky to have internet access at home. #UTedchat

Alexmaley040895 Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

@MrJFawson No! We watched Digital Nation a film in class that proves that no one can multitask, even if we think we can! #utedchat

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

#UTedchat I teach 2nd grade so BYOD would be a nightmare. but I love my chrome book cart

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2 Students could become more involved with learning if they get to bring their own devices. #utedchat

luckypurple03 Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

A1 Love my iPad and use it all the time at school but just joined the real world yesterday and got an iPhone. Yikes! #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

I think multitasking is a myth for students. Divided attention isn't being attentive. @MrJFawson @profbutcher #UTedchat

KelsiessWilson Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: students with their own devices are more familiar with how they work and where everything is. Less time is wasted searching #utedchat

ksteedtech Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: They're comfortable with technology, know how to google ;), and are ready to apply my Internet Safety lessons! #UtedChat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

#UTedchat my class does not have their own devices. We do go to computer lab and use Crome books three times a week.

ckirgan5 Jan 27 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2 We don't do BYOD at my school. Don't want kids to get on our network with their device. #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:18 PM EST

A2: it makes it easier for students to continue their work at home if they can continue on their own devices #utedchat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:18 PM EST

@DaniKSloan @covili absolutely, but Ts have to let the kids explore and there has to be a level of trust established. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:18 PM EST

@covili @profbutcher Right now I'm trying to watch the U game and #utedchat at the same time. Can't tell you the score right now...

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:18 PM EST

A huge problem with BYOD, is that not all students will have devices to bring. Many families can't afford it. #utedchat

MrsMTanner Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

A2: Homework becomes a continuation of meaningful learning activities at school. #Utedchat

Chronicbeard Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

#UTedchat right now I'm trying to tweet, make lunches for the kids, listen to the radio and wait, what was the question?

naymarlyn5 Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

@miller_jessica5 @shannawells91 I love the Chromebooks at our school. Immediate response for the students. #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

#UTedchat A2: Safety. If every child has a device then every child has a way to communicate with home. This day and age that is essential.

sallyja43605015 Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

Oops! A2 #utedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

#utedchat A2 will BYOD BE LESS EXPENSIVE FOR DISTRICTS for tools but more expensive for IT personnel to distribute apps, keep secure etc

camiscott23 Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

BYOD can definitely help with exploration, but how do you monitor it efficiently? #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

@sallyja43605015 @DaniKSloan Knowing how hard it is for me helps me be more patient with students! Hard to resist the temptation! #UTedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

#UTedchat A2: cost of devices is taken off school. Music has been doing BYOD for years!

TWillieEd Jan 27 @ 11:19 PM EST

A2: the district doesn't have to pay. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:20 PM EST

@angela_dansie It certainly can feel like haves vs have nots without really meaning to. #UTedchat

katietd13 Jan 27 @ 11:20 PM EST

#utedchat I think with young kids BYOD would be hard because you don't know what is on the device. 2nd grade.

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:20 PM EST

@cranefam1 I think Chromebooks are a great option for BYOD. even if the school currently buys them. #UTedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:20 PM EST

#UTedchat A2: Many devices are meant to be personal, students have ownership and can better personalize for optimum use.

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

A2: in schools where there isn't 1:1, allows classes to move to that. + Ss R using familiar devices. Less training. #utedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

#UTedchat A2: Student have more ownership of the device, they take better care of it.

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

#Utedchat A2: more cost effective for schools

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

#UTedchat A2: students/ families can have some choice to select best options for them and cheaper for district.

pamturley55 Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

Our district policy is that ss can BYOD, but it is up to each teacher. #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

@Chronicbeard it was something about peanut butter, toilet paper and 2 points! Utah 11 / Cal 8 #utedchat

NielsonAlison Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

I do agree with the safety especially for younger students.#UTedchat

tbarnlrn Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

@covili @cranefam1 So Chromebooks in the classroom "count" as BYOD? If so, we do, and I love them! #utedchat

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

@MrJFawson Right, and it could make some students feel left out or stupid for not having the newest devices. #utedchat

SkylockSocial Jan 27 @ 11:21 PM EST

Exactly. #utedchat Chromebooks get the job done. https://t.co/XbgdTix226

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:20 PM EST

@cranefam1 I think Chromebooks are a great option for BYOD. even if the school currently buys them. #UTedchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:22 PM EST

Mary, math teacher from AMES, love my iPad! #UTedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:22 PM EST

A2 I think the problem with students BYOD is the responsibility you feel when they bring them. First graders are too young.#utedchat

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:22 PM EST

@bobjackman exactly! This is why iPads are so hard to manage at school. #UTedchat

MrsSamMitch Jan 27 @ 11:23 PM EST

A2: Positives: student ownership and showing students how to create and not just play games #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:23 PM EST

@TWillieEd Good point. It does help to have the same setup. #utedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:23 PM EST

@angela_dansie Right, have to be careful. How do Ts handle this if you allow BYOD but not all bring a device? #UTedchat

FarrBfarr Jan 27 @ 11:23 PM EST

@Karkenkam @DaniKSloan @covili How have your teachers been able to establish that trust... agree 100% with your thoughts... #UTedchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:23 PM EST

A1 currently no BYOD unless students want to use the amazing @Desmos calculator instead of their TIs! #UTedchat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:24 PM EST

A2. School would not have to come up with the money to supply devices foe each student. #UTedchat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:24 PM EST

@angela_dansie Agreed. Can schools supplement w/ school devices? I think this makes it easier financially on schools & some fans #UTedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

Q3: How can teachers plan for management issues like having the "right" apps on devices? #utedchat

susanchatch Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

#UTedChat, our school has iPads that every student rents each year. For the most part, I like them.

Just thinking how easy students have information at their fingertips now that they have instant access to any question! #UTedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

@michelle_zey @bobjackman I agree but the kids learn how to use them quickly. The benefits are worth it. #UTedchat

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

Level of dependency to tech. glued to phones and hardly make conversation they can't turn it off when it is in their possession. #UTedChat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

@camiscott23 forces Ts to be up and about. No more front of class teaching. With the kids teaching & being taught. #UTedchat

Alexmaley040895 Jan 27 @ 11:25 PM EST

A2: Students can use it to research things that are brought up in class. I always use my phone to look up alternate definitions #utedchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

A2 If a Ss personal device is used appropriately, it becomes a great tool to investigate, reflect and/or publish #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

@angela_dansie @MrJFawson True. Even my grad students don't all have their own, working device. Definitely worse in lower grades #UTedchat

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

#UTedchat Also our school is a Title one school so we still have kids that don't have the internet at home. Let alone BYOD

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

@DaniKSloan A3 I don't really have an answer ;) but I think this is an imp question for every school to consider #UTedchat

KelsiessWilson Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

@DaniKSloan #utedchat by having their own passcode for downloads that the students do not know

MrsMorris5th Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

One of the biggest hurdles in my school is not the lack of technology, but having them working properly and keeping them updated. #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

@Karkenkam @angela_dansie I think having a combo of Ss devices with school devices is a great model. #utedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

#utedchat A3: Send home list for parents of what apps students need.

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

That's true in my district too I have a student who doesn't even have a TV in the home much less internet #UTedchat https://t.co/cRwx2SEaqs

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:26 PM EST

#UTedchat Also our school is a Title one school so we still have kids that don't have the internet at home. Let alone BYOD

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3:I use free apps or websites. Let Ss know in advance. But still a problem. Not all devices are updated, etc. Lots can go wrong #UTedchat

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

#UTedchat A3: That's the part I would find hard. Want to see what everyone else says too

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

@angela_dansie I agree it is not fair to expect all kids to bring their own if they cannot afford it and how do you teach if not? #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

A3: teachers can be prepared ahead of time and communicate with students and parents about what apps will be needed for each unit #UTedchat

susanchatch Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

Do most, if not all 2ndary schools recommended to have iPads or laptops for their students? #UTedChat

sallyja43605015 Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

#utedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:28 PM EST

#UTedchat A3: T's shouldn't have 2 plan 4 apps on devices. That's like t's writing text books. District should select, vet, & install apps.

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

#UTedchat A3: communication with families is key in BYOD. Public practice and pre planning so expectations are clear.

bethtannerslc Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

A3: I love the idea of Ss downloading/exploring assigned app for the next day/week as homework. #utedchat

MrsSamMitch Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

A3: Ts should create a student/device use agreement that involve parents with a list of apps that will be used for that class #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

A3: teachers need an alternative planned for students who aren't able to use their own device #utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

@mommyteacher5 Great idea, Marianne! This would help parents be more involved, too! #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

#utedchat A3 if schools using Volume App purchasing, distributing correct apps is nightmarish! Actually Apple makes VAP always nightmare

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

#UTedchat I think this is an advantage of BYOD. When Ss have their own device they can download apps. Most school devices are locked down.

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

@luckypurple03 True! So important to help them see that access to info not same as learning. They need synthesis, analysis, etc. #utedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:29 PM EST

@EdTecHakk That sounds good in theory in practice that can be a nightmare though #UTedchat I had to wait a year for Google Earth to get ok'd

Alexmaley040895 Jan 27 @ 11:30 PM EST

A3 @DaniKSloan If you have things like ipads that belong to the school; maybe only the teacher knows the password for apps #utedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:30 PM EST

@EdTecHakk what if it is the students personal device? Is the district still responsible?#utedchat

tbarnlrn Jan 27 @ 11:30 PM EST

@EdTecHakk But in some districts, it's more hassle than it's worth to get anything tech done. #UTedchat

TWillieEd Jan 27 @ 11:30 PM EST

Agreed @Mr #UTedChat

ckirgan5 Jan 27 @ 11:31 PM EST

A3 Don't have an answer. Have district chrome books that I can put apps on. Also old district iPods that I put apps on myself. #UTedchat

MrsMTanner Jan 27 @ 11:31 PM EST

A3: In K-12, send home a list of apps you'll use that year, kind of like a list of school supplies. #Utedchat

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:31 PM EST

@shannawells91 I agree. With younger students it is easier to use the technology the school has. That way all students have it. #utedchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:31 PM EST

A3 I keep an updated list of apps/programs on my website, students/parents/teachers can find them quickly https://t.co/tndc2KPrlD #UTedchat

angela_dansie Jan 27 @ 11:31 PM EST

@shannawells91 I think with older students, you could maybe mix the technology the school has with BYOD. #utedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

A3 The only way you could manage is by making sure the apps are paid through the school or require it to be put on at home. #UTedchat

mrshil1st Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

@SkylockSocial I love my chrome books.#UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

@MrJFawson #utedchat It depends on the district. Strong EdTech Dept = support and forward thinking. No EdTech = year wait for G-Earth

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

@EdTecHakk #UTedchat Thats what they do at our school with our chrome books. IF we want an app we let the tech people know.

pamturley55 Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

What about tech support? Are ts expected to troubleshoot multiple devices and platforms? #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:32 PM EST

@bethtannerslc Yea, been there, the red tape can be too much #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:33 PM EST

A3: List the apps/sites & have backup devices. Some Ss use own devices, some use U owned devices (preloaded). Options are good. #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

@mommyteacher5 nope,in BYOD it would be like school supplies. "This year you need GoogleDrive, Edmodo, Canvas, etc on your device" #utedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

@pamturley55 Huge issue Pam. Most Ts avoid devices for fear of no tech support. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Big Ed tech dept is a luxury few districts have. Largest district in state has 3 people on staff. Would overwhelm them #UTedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

A3: There are so many free apps... It's almost silly to pay for an app! ...unless it's super cool. #utedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

#utedchat Apps So much cheaper with VAP.

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:34 PM EST

@MrsMTanner I agree but it is frustrating as a parent when they don't have the school supplies needed. It adds up quickly #utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

Q4: How will students receive information for your class? How will they share their work with you and each other? #utedchat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

A 3. #UTedchat my idea is to put blocks on the devices. I also like The idea of a list.

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

@pamturley55 This is hardest about BYOD. Things go wrong & much harder for me to troubleshoot unfamiliar device. But Ss understand #utedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

@MrJFawson #utedchat Then don't spend money on tech if you don't spend money on PD and support. It's all a waste otherwise.

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

@pamturley55 Students can help with the tech support of their own devices. Harder when it is school device #utedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

@MrJFawson @EdTecHakk #utedchat SLCSD has only 3 Ed tech. Bigger IT dept.

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

#UTedchat A4: I have used Dropbox in the past, but also OneDrive now.

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

@covili @pamturley55 so how do you get past this issue? Big Q for me since this is something I'm considering to move to 1:1. #UTedchat

FarrBfarr Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

12 Awesome #Edtech Apps https://t.co/2c6LVdDkTX #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Except for some of the free apps have such annoying distracting adds! #utedchat

ckirgan5 Jan 27 @ 11:36 PM EST

A4 We use google classroom on our chrome books and students use it at home on their own devices. #UTedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: Publish info online. We use Canvas. This makes it easy to access information digitally and link directly to sites/apps. #UTedchat

cranefam1 Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Agreed plus with our basals we have web sites that the kids can use that go right with what we are teaching so whybuy #UTedchat

CatHancock2000 Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

@DaniKSloan I can see benefits if the tech can be used to help stay on top of work or send important information home to parents #utedchat

naymarlyn5 Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

I am curious, approximately how many schools in Utah use BYOD? #UTedchat

susanchatch Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

@cranefam1 our school has a person who decides what apps the students can get, along w/our suggestions. #UTedchat

TWillieEd Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: My kids use canvas #UTedChat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Not true, asking them to load all the apps is unnecessary. Most districts aren't set up for that #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:37 PM EST

@MaripoZel @MrJFawson #utedchat And no Google Apps for students in SLC Schools either. But tons of $$$ spent on Microsoft.

Chronicbeard Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4: I'm hoping our switch to Canvas will work with variety of devices. #UTedchat

RJLoweut Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4 Here we use Canvas and GoogleDrive & several carts of chromebooks & iPads #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

Exactly! Hope there is plenty of PD in new bill at Legislature! #utedchat https://t.co/kivfIT231r

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:35 PM EST

camiscott23 Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

@MrsMTanner I like your idea of sending a list home with the apps! #UTedchat

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

Is a teachers e-mail to outdated to receive assignments? #UTedChat

pamturley55 Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4 @CanvasLMS for secondary, Google Classroom for elementary #UTedchat

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:38 PM EST

#UTedchat A4: I like the idea of using canvas or google documents

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

@MrJFawson #utedchat Managing apps for students on Chromebooks and Google Tablets is a piece of cake. iPad apps are an issue.

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

@MaripoZel Research on attention processes. PBS Digital Nation has nice section about it. We often watch it in class and discuss. #utedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

@EdTecHakk @MaripoZel How districts spend $ rarely makes sense ;) #UTedchat

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

#UTedchat unrelated shout out to @rachelannmurphy and @camilleco who I know are big supporters of BYOD in @canyonsdistrict

bethtannerslc Jan 27 @ 11:39 PM EST

A4: My K is pretty low tech esp. considering my pop/access to tech. Just started with SeeSaw #UTedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

Q4 Follow Up: Do you know any great ways to quickly share a link with students? #utedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

A4 Canvas is what the high school students use from the teacher so I would think that would be a great way to communicate. #UTedchat

RJLoweut Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

Seems like our iPad mgmt SW changes every year :P #UTedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

@turnerlearners I use email to communicate with my kids teachers. #utedchat

MrsMTanner Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

A4: Google Drive is awesome for this! I'm also loving Google Classroom. @GoogleForEdu #Utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

@turnerlearners I don't think so! For quick assignments it would work! But there are LMSs available to read/grade in one app! #utedchat

Alexmaley040895 Jan 27 @ 11:40 PM EST

@DaniKSloan I love canvas as a college student, but probably just a class website for the younger kids! #utedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

A4: QR code on the screen for mobile devices. Otherwise, just a plain ol' enabled link in my online materials! #UTedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

A4: still a lot with paper. but that is changing fast! blog, email, cloud #utEdchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

@turnerlearners I still use email, it's monitored by the school and email addresses are linked to student grades for quick convo #utedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

#UTedchat Three years ago I thought iPads were the perfect device for 1:1. Now I feel even more strongly that Chromebooks are the answer.

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

#UTedchat @MaripoZel that's awesome! Thanks for posting that!

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

Depends on the class, but my own 9th grader has a few Ts that use Google Classroom. Still new for Ts and most still timid. #utedchat

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

Q4- I like how my daughters teacher 5th grade shares helpful links in her newsletter- khan academy has been a great one. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:41 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Canvas is easiest #UTedchat

#UTedchat A4: canvas canvas canvas? Canvas. Yes. Canvas. Canvas? CANVAS!!! #insidejoke

DDyslexiaUT Jan 27 @ 11:42 PM EST

Thanks for the convo on BYOD. Assistive Tech is essential for our kids. We prefer access for all. But, don't discourage BYOD. #UTEDCHAT

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:43 PM EST

@Karkenkam @pamturley55 I think PD and admin support is as much of tech plan as buying the devices. #UTedchat

bethtannerslc Jan 27 @ 11:43 PM EST

A4: I've also been known to stick a QR code on our weekly bulletin to link to an article/video about our learning. #UTedchat

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:43 PM EST

@EdTecHakk more so than iPads for sure. All the extras we pay for to make iPads something they aren't. #UTedchat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:43 PM EST

A 4. #UTedchat we have a school home page that parents, students and staff can go to.

susanchatch Jan 27 @ 11:44 PM EST

@Chronicbeard , the canvas app works great w/iPads. I'm a big fan of using google docs w/it too. #UTedchat

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:44 PM EST

@Karkenkam @DaniKSloan Different uses really, but to share a link, tough to beat Canvas. #UTedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:44 PM EST

@profbutcher #utedchat will look later inside joke a goof up

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:44 PM EST

@covili @Karkenkam @pamturley55 #utedchat Let's take that a step further. If no PD, support, or admin buy-in then tech plan = fail plan.

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:45 PM EST

@bethtannerslc Love this idea, would like to see someone use Aurasma and do this #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:46 PM EST

@MrsMTanner #utedchat Our manager @brooksby uses Google Tone on a daily basis in our office. @UENpd

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:46 PM EST

@MaripoZel LOL. Thought I was being too literal when saw that last tweet. Ss questions mean that I don't get subtle humor anymore. #UTedchat

@MrsMTanner LOVE - it has been wonderful 99% of the time. #utedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:46 PM EST

#utedchat A5: students allowed to have devices out in the classroom

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:46 PM EST

@EdTecHakk @covili @pamturley55 don't forget T buy in. I'm dealing w/ that a bit because Ts don't know. PD is critical I agree. #UTedchat

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:46 PM EST

#UTedchat A5: The first rules would be for me and how engage technology in lessons. Giving more opportunity for the students to learn on own

turnerlearners Jan 27 @ 11:47 PM EST

I believe management would be huge- I would feel I would need a locking cabinet to secure them while not in use so none go missing #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:47 PM EST

#UTedchat A5: Good behavior and citizenship is the same in person as with tech. The classroom will change more than the rules.

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:47 PM EST

@MrJFawson @bethtannerslc There are great ideas for using @aurasma that I would use to share links or formulas... Still planning #utedchat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:47 PM EST

@MaryTouchet @turnerlearners I also use emails to keep the parents informed of what we are learning and going on. #UTedchat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:47 PM EST

A4 follow up. @RemindHQ #utedchat

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:48 PM EST

#UTedchat A5: must have a designated tech vs no tech signal. Direct instruction on when to use vs take a break from the device.

naymarlyn5 Jan 27 @ 11:48 PM EST

A5, This would be difficult for students in our district. It would create an unfair learning environment for students. #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

A5 More than changing the rules we should change the activities. Rethink the types of projects. #Utedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

@Karkenkam @covili @pamturley55 #utedchat Good PD + Admin modeling / S's set up for success = Teacher buy in.

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

A5 This would be tough because you don't want them on other sites and you would have to manage that. Strict rules. Follow or lose. #UTedchat

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

A 5. #UTedchat you would have to set rules when they are to be used or not used. Make sure they understand rules.

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:49 PM EST

#UTedchat Q5: Students would be held accountable for use of devices during times when devices are not being used

TWillieEd Jan 27 @ 11:50 PM EST

Yes, @ckirgan5 my anxiety would need managing as well! #UTedChat

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:50 PM EST

@naymarlyn5 A5 You are right. You would have to have other devices available at the school. #UTedchat

A5 Ts need to be aware and monitoring ss. No sitting at desk! #utedchat

profbutcher Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

A6: We need "backup" devices available from the school. Students may not have them, and devices break. Backups are safety net. #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

#UTedchat A6: just like "FARM" we could have Free and Reduced Tech, call it... Oh no. Never mind the acronym.

MrJFawson Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

@DaniKSloan This is a good question and definitely worthy of a lot of thought for each school. #UTedchat Not sure it's one size fits all

cstum87 Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

#UTedchat A6: Equity is the big problem that I see with BYOD. It would have to depend on the demographic of the school I suppose

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

#UTedchat A6: I got my kids Amazon Fire's for christmas for $35. It is getting more affordable. But schools can have options for checkout.

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

@HaileyFMaloney Admin has to see that pros outweigh cons in order to change policy. Ask to pilot and show that #kidsdeserveit. #UTedchat

MrsMTanner Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

A5: Perhaps school could have some devices avail. for a year's checkout for a small fee? I did this for a graphing calc in HS. #Utedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

#utedchat A6: Have devices to "loan" or " rent" to those students for the year.

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:55 PM EST

@AprilPurdy3 I haven't been able to find/see them either. But, the answers are stellar! Taking Notes... #utedchat

#UTedchat A6: Ask your Music teacher about this. They deal with it all the time! Small number of school owned checkout devices. WSD did this

Nothing ever equitable but is obligation as humans to come as close as possible. #utedchat like musical instrument https://t.co/1qYYnWgSrQ

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:52 PM EST

Q6: What about equity? We know not every family can afford a device, what then? #utedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:55 PM EST

A6: unless a school can offer a device, the student cannot be held liable for not having the device. get creative. grants? #utedchat

ckirgan5 Jan 27 @ 11:55 PM EST

A6 District provided devices solves this problem. We are 1:1 Title I school so some students don't have much of anything esp tech. #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

@TWillieEd With group projects or pass to a partner we don't need a 1:1 with devices. #UTedchat

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

@shannawells91 @ksteedtech When Ss lose privilege of using school device, what about in-class work or homework? #UTedchat

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

#UTedchat Sorry Utah friends. Back east we have kids who are "FARM" - Free and Reduced Meal Plan.

shannawells91 Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

@bobjackman I like the idea of checking them out then they feel more responsible and will take care of them better. #utedchat

MaripoZel Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

Funny Man! #utedchat https://t.co/DhYpicCwiw

EdTecHakk Jan 27 @ 11:54 PM EST

#UTedchat A6: just like "FARM" we could have Free and Reduced Tech, call it... Oh no. Never mind the acronym.

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:56 PM EST

A6: supplement w/ school devices or have Ss share. #utedchat

@SkylockSocial @AprilPurdy3 @DaniKSloan. Is hosting tonight and posting q's. #UTedchat

#utedchat Favorite device I own is my I-Phone.

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:57 PM EST

@shannawells91 But not as costly as buying a device for every student... #utedchat

RJLoweut Jan 27 @ 11:57 PM EST

We offer chromebook checkout at RHS #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Jan 27 @ 11:57 PM EST

What a great #utedchat. Thanks @DaniKSloan! Next week the Nebo Tech Ts take over- see you then!

susanchatch Jan 27 @ 11:57 PM EST

@MrsMTanner our schools rents them for $50/yr. seems 2 work good. #UTedchat

mommyteacher5 Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

#utedchat A6: Have non-tech options for students who don't have device

pamturley55 Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

Is BYOD becoming less an issue with school devices like Chromebooks so affordable? We use textbook $ for Chromebooks. #UTedchat

michelle_zey Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

#UTedchat nice work tonight @DaniKSloan !!

pjrPatricia Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

A6. #UTedchat this is why I do not agree with the BYOD idea.

MaryTouchet Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

@RhetParsons Welcome to the #UTedchat

Karkenkam Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

@TWillieEd shared devices. Activities that lend to group work around a device. #utedchat

HaileyFMaloney Jan 27 @ 11:58 PM EST

@MrsMTanner I want to learn more about google tone. Thanks! #utedchat

TWillieEd Jan 27 @ 11:59 PM EST

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable asking kids to share their personal devices. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Jan 27 @ 11:59 PM EST

Thank you for participating in #utedchat. Such great thinking and idea sharing tonight!

bobjackman Jan 27 @ 11:59 PM EST

@michelle_zey @DaniKSloan #Utedchat Agreed!

ksteedtech Jan 27 @ 11:59 PM EST

@MaryTouchet @shannawells91 True. But I hate how taking away devices causes a burden on the teacher. How'll the lesson be adapted #UtedChat
