| Edu_Thompson | RT @TimeToKnow: Who’s ready for #BYOTchat?! Topic: Changes to teaching strategies and classroom goals with #BYOT – starting in 5 minutes. |
| 40ishoracle | Hey #BYOTchat! I am still working a tech petting zoo at school so I’ll check the feed in the am. Parents loving 1:1 BYOT |
| cybraryman1 | #BYOTchat NOW 9 pm EST – Topic: Changes to teaching strategies & classroom goals with #BYOT |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | “What changes should Ts make in their teaching strategies and classroom goals to take full advantage of a BYOT/BYOD program?†#BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Hi Steve! Hi everyone. Good to be back at #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson San and his group has done a great job with showme #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @cybraryman1: #BYOTchat NOW 9 pm EST – Topic: Changes to teaching strategies & classroom goals with #BYOT |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome to #BYOTchat! I’m Steve from Roanoke, IL. I so glad to be back! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @40ishoracle OK Jenn! #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @40ishoracle Cool – tech petting zoo for parents? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | I’ve been looking forward to #byotchat all week. I’m ready to hear some great ideas! |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 I think first and foremost teachers need to be comfortable taking risks, and that is a difficult adjustment. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | What adjustments in teaching do teachers need to make to take full advantage of the tech devices? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | One transformational strategy for #byot #byod is that teachers have to be willing to learn alongside students #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 Teachers need to have an open mind about #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | I would start with this: do we want to shape our goals around the tech or the tech around the goals? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome back Tim – @BYOTNetwork I’m glad you made it back! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 should there be any changes? class should stay the same. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Nathan, I could see teachers using tech devices only for word processing – which is why I suggested this topic #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thanks! It’s great to be back – I’m glad you’re organizing this #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @stevehayes_rb60 principals should enable teachers to realize that risks are exceptable #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes! As well as the flexibility to adapt their existing strategies to ones which are BYOT-friendly. #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | the learning goals are the same, but how the students choose to achieve it will be driven by students, not teacher #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @TimeToKnow Yep! I have two students working with me too. Great fun. And a late night whew! #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @nathan_stevens Ideally that would be the case. Some of the new teacher eval models (such as in NY) are making that much harder. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | It’s not that teachers have to come up with completely new strategies as much as how they implement their existing strategies. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | learning along with students is something teachers need to feel comfortable with #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | @jlubinsky Second that. Adapt existing strategies to ones which are BYOT-friendly. #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | Speaking of strategies. Could use a few more BYOT policy links for my BYOD page: http://t.co/gvHsQzzg #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @engaginged Great idea and so simple. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome back Jill @Edu_Thompson and Mike @jlubinsky! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork YES: Teachers learning from students is important. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 how many teachers use smartboards as only whiteboards and projectors? #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | I’m correct to assume that smart boards can be used as a second screen for devices such as the iPad? #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @nathan_stevens Too many. It’s one of the biggest challenges we still have. Not enough PD/resources available to assist them. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 not just learning, but there is an acceptable amount of play while having devices in the classroom #BYOTchat |
| debbiefuco | RT @hdiblasi: News Brief: Looking at BYO From Both Sides http://t.co/QE4z49U6 #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @SteveHayes_Way to many it is scary! #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @Mike_Penta There are adapters available which can connect iPads to projectors. Or could do it wirelessly using AppleTV. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jlubinsky @nathan_stevens It seems—and it’s no surprise—that PD is a recurring theme here on #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @nathan_stevens i like the phrasing “acceptable amount of play” that might get more students to buy in to discovery process #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens @SteveHayes_RB60 I like that: Teachers need to feel comfortable playing with tech. #BYOTchat |
| jwhardcastle | How important is inquiry-based learning, fun, play, student direction for BYOT? I think they go hand in hand. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Mike_Penta with mobile devices everyone has their own screen, why do you need a smartboard #BYOTchat |
| debbiefuco | Educators, your opinion counts! Plz take research survey re social media & educator PD. http://t.co/hFb41Fbq #byotchat #sschat #mathchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Mike_Penta Screen, yes, but that’s it. A projector makes more sense with an iPad #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jwhardcastle I’m a big fan of inquiry-based learning. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @Mike_Penta You can use spashtop app to make your ipad work on the smartboard projector to make you remote. #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | @nathan_stevens I’m thinking along the lines of presentations to the class. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Mike_Penta with mobile devices, the iwb is a dying breed #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @SrtaLisa It seems easier to get students to buy in to things like “acceptable amount of play” than it is to get admins to. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Right, @nathan_stevens, with #byot and kids texting to the board there is more engagement than for just one kid with the stylus #byotchat |
| jlubinsky | @nathan_stevens I still think that even with BYOT there will be room for IWBs in the classroom but in a much different role. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jwhardcastle All of these qualities that were always thought of in great teaching #byot can provide the leverage #BYOTchat |
| cmcgee200 | RT @debbiefuco: Educators, your opinion counts! Plz take research survey re social media & educator PD. http://t.co/hFb41Fbq #byotchat #sschat #mathchat |
| SrtaLisa | @jlubinsky I am lucky I have an awesome district with enthusiastic and open minded admins. We all play together #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @stevehayes_rb60 I borrowed this idea for @DrDavisNCSU she is great with this idea #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @nathan_stevens: @MyTakeOnIt @stevehayes_rb60 principals should enable teachers to realize that risks are exceptable #BYOTchat |
| jwhardcastle | @MyTakeOnIt Any particular strategies? How do I help my more established faculty (read: traditional) adopt it? #BYOTchat #inquiry |
| TimeToKnow | @jlubinsky @srtalisa The whole idea of “education as play” is a pretty radical shift in how we think about education as a whole. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Interdisciplinary teaching should be able to occur more often with tech devices #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @mike_penta get rid of the computer with splashtop, your mobile device can do everything you need #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jlubinsky @nathan_stevens I think the IWB is a great showcase for the collective thinking of the group and sharing projects #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jwhardcastle If you nurture learning It will spread #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @TimeToKnow RTTT is forcing us back to “teaching to the test.” I fear teachers will shy away from things like BYOT because of it. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jwhardcastle Grass-roots approach to PD. Find someone who is interested in learning & nurture them. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | BYOD can also support mobile learning—remove the “load bearing walls” and bring the class out of the room #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @jlubinsky Schools have changed a lot since I was there – the focus on testing really throws me, tbh. #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @BYOTNetwork And for that reason, IWBs will always have a place even if simply as the next step in the evolution of the whiteboard #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @mike_penta You need the computer to use splashtop #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 We sometimes have seen more difficulty implementing in secondary grades because of integration #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | has anyone checked out the mondopad? works great with mobile devices. #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | Establishing a climate where BYOT is successful will be difficult if Ts are resistent – ideas? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @thepaullus6 I think the key to getting started w/ resistant teachers is small steps, and guided or team teaching projects #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | the mondopad can be controlled by the mobile device through a browser. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @thepaullus6 Again: PD is important. The more you know, the less you fear. LEARN to combat fears #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @MyTakeOnIt agreed – it’s getting the admins to support it first – suggestions for getting the admins to roll with it? #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @TimeToKnow Agreed. If we boil school down to learning, BYOT should be near the top of the strategies used for today’s learners. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens I’ll check it out. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @jwhardcastle If you nurture learning It will spread #BYOTchat this is true for students and professionals |
| MyTakeOnIt | We spend a lot of time talking about iPads on #BYOTchat. Anyone have or have students using ChromeBooks? Anything less traditional? |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @thepaullus6 What PD is necessary for #byot might be a #byotchat all on its own!  |
| TimeToKnow | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @jwhardcastle If you nurture learning It will spread #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork @stevehayes_rb60 have you tried with elem grades yet? #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 I agree – i just left the classroom to be an instructional tech coach – sometimes it’s the admins the block it #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @thepaullus6 Do your admins choose their own devices, or does the tech dept choose what devices your admins use? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | good place to start with resistant teachers would also be using BYOT devices in discussion, polling, clicker type activities #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @MyTakeOnIt As a tech coordinator, this is one of my biggest challenges. The lack of PD funds/opps hinders most of our efforts. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @Edu_Thompson only with school-owned ipads #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork @thepaullus6 Actually, PD was our second #BYOTchat Archived here: http://t.co/xFx2b9KN |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 I used several apps and sites that could be used in a classroom in pd to show the ease of them #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | #BYOTchat taping into the cell phones is also something to be explored – polleverywhere, celly, etc. |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt I see a lot of Kindle Fires in our schools and in early elem a lot of Nintendo DSs #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @thepaullus6 Admins need to see enthusiastic teachers who successfully/passionately incorporate tech. EdCamps are a great freebie #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork So BYODevice as eBook. Another good use. Students can carry all books with them very easily #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @byotnetwork @MyTakeOnIt The Kindle Fire has gotten some buzz as a classroom tool lately. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | A useful link of various teaching strategies http://t.co/qoPrjx4o |
| Edu_Thompson | @MyTakeOnIt rt very curious about chrome books! #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | I just want to through out there that many people were surprised when I mentioned the Nintendo DSi’s can only be used w/ BYOT #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @MyTakeOnIt admins choose for the districts – then they call us wanting help on how to integrate. Big push for iPads in E. Oregon #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @thepaullus6 @SteveHayes_RB60 Not that I’d advise it, but can teachers go around admins? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jlubinsky Funding—that’s an important point. Can you say what percent of your buget is spent on PD? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @SrtaLisa @thepaullus6 Admins need to see enthusiastic teachers who successfully/passionately incorporate tech. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork awesome, thanks! #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @MyTakeOnIt For technology? Literally next to nothing. It was one of the first things chopped during budget cuts. #byotchat |
| Mike_Penta | Many parents of elementary students were surprised when I mentioned their kids could use Nintendo DSi’s for BYOT #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt chromebooks are still two new, we are getting a few to augment our laptop check out #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 I agree. I also try to get them hooked on Twitter & social media. Many teachers use Pinterest. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jlubinsky Learning is one of the first things cut in a school? Wow. I’m beside myself. #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @TimeToKnow @SteveHayes_RB60 yeah, and apologize later  #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | “@Edu_Thompson: very curious abt chromebooks! #BYOTchat†I have some students who bring their own, but I’m going to get 1 for experimenting |
| thepaullus6 | #BYOTchat – we have one school allowing kindles, itouches, iPads, cell phones with teacher permission – doing well so far #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jlubinsky Recent figure I heard is 3% of school’s budget should be spent on PD. I read that as “≥3% of my tech budget” #BYOTchat |
| ckeech | RT @cybraryman1: Speaking of strategies. Could use a few more BYOT policy links for my BYOD page: http://t.co/gvHsQzzg #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mike_penta Especially because it’s sold as a gaming device, but Nintendo does a good job producing/encouraging educational games #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork love pinterest!!! #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | any districts offer PD type trainings for students? I want that for our district now that we have BYOT #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | It’s big w/our elem Teachers @BYOTNetwork Many teachers use Pinterest. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Edu_Thompson Jill: Remind me what your role is… Teacher? Tech integrator? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @Mike_Penta And on the DS and DSi, they can chat via Pictochat. A safe and engaging intro to “online” communication. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | A friend who teaches math is always wanting longer class periods. Doesn’t BYOT do that in a way? – always connected & flipped… #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @Mike_Penta Nintendo DSi’s and the PSPs are very useable – especially if they are doing research. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @MyTakeOnIt I hope to get my hands on one soon to test too. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | many students don’t know the full potential of their devices, once they start discovering, they will educate the teachers #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @Edu_Thompson @MyTakeOnIt For those interested in Chromebooks in schools, check out @kjarrett’s project page: http://t.co/TWnFVoKA #byotchat |
| RSJeffery | @CRStengel we have a #BYOTchat EACH Thursday night. Your experience with BYOT will benefit all. |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @edu_thompson the chromebook is basically chrome on a computer with out any OS #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I think flipping classrooms would be a great change in strategies #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @nathan_stevens @MyTakeOnIt @Edu_Thompson Well, the OS is “Chrome OS”, which is a Linux boot with Chrome only #nitpicky #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 #byotchat Highlighting Pinterest is good at breaking down the traditional barriers to collaboration. (1 of the 4 C’s) |
| thepaullus6 | @TimeToKnow @byotnetwork @MyTakeOnIt Kindle fire great for consuming information – wish it had camera and video out capabilities #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt is it a single training group or two sessions? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @thepaullus6 @timetoknow @byotnetwork @mytakeonit but mobiledeviceare for more than consuming info, let students be more creative #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @nathan_stevens @MyTakeOnIt @Edu_Thompson I played around with the OS a bit – it’s a great concept; really lightweight computing #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Edu_Thompson Do you have your own budget? A ChromeBook is only $300-$400 #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | camera and video capabilities are essential! #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @TimeToKnow @nathan_stevens @mytakeonit good point #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa I do PD for teachers and students for various schools #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @thepaullus6: I suggest a parent night to explain the strategy with flipping, saves the phone calls and emails to explain! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa We custom design PD for each school with which we work. #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 I suggest a parent night to explain the strategy with flipping, saves the phone calls and emails to explain! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I teaching an online class next year – I couldn’t fit it into my schedule, but Ss wanted to take it – so I will be learning w/them #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 and creating a collaborative always connected environment. Win – Win #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @edu_thompson a friend and i have been discussing if a browser is all you need for an os #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @thepaullus6 @timetoknow @mytakeonit I with the Kindle Fire had a camera. Even the DSi has a camera and SD card. #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @nathan_stevens @thepaullus6 @BYOTNetwork @MyTakeOnIt I’m not as familiar with features of KindleFire; less capable than #ipad? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Another way teachers can adjust their style to accomodate BYOD is 2 move 2 the web. It doesn’t always work, but it can #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @TimeToKnow @thepaullus6 most definitly unless you want to buy something from amazon #BYOTchat @byotnetwork @mytakeonit |
| jwhardcastle | We may not be there yet, but we have to continue to push to device agnostic. We are pen/pencil brand agnostic, yes? #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @nathan_stevens @timetoknow @byotnetwork @mytakeonit I just find the kindle fire limited – i prefer the itouch for kids #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | the kindle fire is a sales gimmick from amazon #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | “@mikecrain: Does #BYOTchat mean Bring Your Own Technology? If so, THAT is hilarious. #ItsTrueAndSad†It does. Why so funny? |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @mytakeonit what did you decided? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | with BYOT Collaborative/Cooperative Learning (aka real life) is a lot more than old-fashion group projects #BYOTchat |
| mikecrain | Does #BYOTchat mean Bring Your Own Technology? If so, THAT is hilarious. #ItsTrueAndSad |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens @thepaullus6 @timetoknow @mytakeonit Good point! #byot should transform instruction #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork flipped classroom worked well in my 5th classroom, my principal uses the concept or pds so they are more productive #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @mikecrain no funny would be Bring your own turkeys #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 right but it teaches vital 21st century skills! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @Edu_Thompson flipped classroom PD – great idea! #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @nathan_stevens @thepaullus6 @BYOTNetwork @MyTakeOnIt Kindle App can be installed on #iPad doesn’t seem like any advantage to Fire #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 it gets the teachers familiar with the concept and comfortable #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @nathan_stevens: @mikecrain no funny would be Bring your own turkeys #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens Though… BYOD is BYOD: If a student chooses to bring a Kindle Fire, how do you accomodate that choice? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt this why there needs to be more that just be able to connect to wifi #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | RT @nathan_stevens: @mikecrain no funny would be Bring your own turkeys #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes, absolutely – and that’s why BYOT is so scary to lots of tchrs. Changes paradigm – no more “sage on stage” #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @nathan_stevens @mikecrain Today our FFA students drove farm tractors to school – BYOT that way was funny! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Although I personally prefer certain devices, I encourage kids to bring whatever they have, and we’ll figure it out together #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @Edu_Thompson @SteveHayes_RB60 Tapping in to what the kids do naturally and having access to tech when schools can’t provide it #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @nathan_stevens I don’t think he’s implying it can’t be used, just that it’s not as good as iPad. It’s cheaper though. #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @trescolumnae Many view equity as the biggest challenge to BYOT but I think it is the paradigm shift you refer to. Scary for many. #byotchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 @nathan_stevens @mikecrain No that’s keeping it real and relevant! #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @BYOTNetwork That’s a good attitude: “We’ll figure it out together.” I love figuring things out WITH my students #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @BYOTNetwork Same with the schools I work with – no $$ to buy more computers – kids have them in their pockets. Use them! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | if a student has a device that has trouble achieving the goals of the assign. with their tech, they will be lost #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork That’s a good attitude: “We’ll figure it out together.” I love figuring things out WITH my students #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens I guess what I’m saying is… when is it the teacher’s problem, and when is it the student’s? #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @Edu_Thompson Love the idea of PD for #flipclass! Not enough to simply explain it and does offer many 21st century skills. #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @BYOTNetwork That’s a good attitude: “We’ll figure it out together.” I love figuring things out WITH my students #BYOTchat |
| mikecrain | It’s a funny acronym & hashtag. #BYOTchat Im not laughing at the fact of bringing 1′s technology 2 skool 2 teach. I do that. It’s ridiculous |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens What if the teacher chooses to use iPad apps but a student doesn’t have an iPad? (Just playing devil’s advocate) #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Classroom goals will change as Ts learn to manage time differently with BYOT devices. #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | @Edu_Thompson Thanks! Playing with Splashtop now as we #BYOTchat lol. |
| thepaullus6 | @MyTakeOnIt @nathan_stevens I think it will change how lessons are given – more flexible and more individualized #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens Good call. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt teachers need to explain lesson expectations clearly; students need to find their own path to achieve #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | I think the different devices encourage collaboration. Kids need to learn how to choose the right tool for the job. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @mikecrain You’re ok Mike! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt or if the student has an ipad 1 but the app requires a 2 or 3 #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @BYOTNetwork picking the right tool – That won’t be hard for students to figure out. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @jlubinsky of I want the teachers to use it, I make sure I use it in pd and hold pd helps teachers feel comfortable. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: @BYOTNetwork picking the right tool – That won’t be hard for Ss to figure out. #BYOTchat it won’t be hard for MOST Ss |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Critical thinking skill! RT @SrtaLisa: @MyTakeOnIt … students need to find their own path to achieve #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | #BYOTchat BYOT is still better than having the 4 old comps in the back of the room to share w/ 32 students |

| TimeToKnow | @srtalisa @MyTakeOnIt Can we really expect that from students? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @mikecrain check with us at http://t.co/wDb50UYI #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | In PD, I try to model learning alongside the teachers so they can see that strategy. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @srtalisa I think it depends on the situation and the students, but it should be a goal—we need to teach them how #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @mikecrain every Thursday 9 PM est #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | I think everyone – teachers, students, admins – all need tool awareness training #BYOTchat |
| mikecrain | @SteveHayes_RB60 thanks Steve. Glad to have stumbled upon this hashtag. What time on Thursday does this happen? I’m on PST time. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork Modeling is an important teaching strategy! #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @thepaullus6 You could argue from a classroom management perspective that dealing with just 4 PCs for 32 students is trickier. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Interdisciplinary Teaching & Team Teaching should be goals in a BYOT school #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @thepaullus6 Agree! Because of the diff devices, we finally see our 4 desktops actually being used more! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 mobile devices can be used a centers too, where a cluster of students can share a device #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SrtaLisa most students could teach the teachers #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | nothing wrong with that! RT @thepaullus6: @SrtaLisa most students could teach the teachers #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | RT @SrtaLisa: I think everyone – teachers, students, admins – all need tool awareness training #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork me too and they appreciate it because you are putting in the effort too #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @BYOTNetwork Exactly – that’s the equity part – students who don’t have their own use the comps #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @Mike_Penta test time – put them away – teacher is still in control of the class (or should be!) #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | #BYOTchat Tech side – do schools using BYOT have open guest wireless for BYOT or? |
| MyTakeOnIt | @thepaullus6 @BYOTNetwork So would you say that the perfect setup is a BYOD school with supplimental devices for ppl who don’t BYO #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Mike_Penta Cheating isn’t more of a prob because students who would have cheated had their devices before byot #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 @mike_penta completely agree! Devices need to not always be out and teachers need control that. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @thepaullus6 we assume they can, but many students lack the confidence because they are not used to taking charge of tech #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @thepaullus6 Yes! And students w/o devices now have more access to school tech since others bring their own #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @thepaullus6 We usually recommend that the network still be secure. Sometimes we setup two nets: secure and guest #BYOTchat |
| davidwees | RT @debbiefuco: Educators, your opinion counts! Plz take research survey re social media & educator PD. http://t.co/hFb41Fbq #byotchat #sschat #mathchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @thepaullus6 we found (re equity) that it BYOT was with our existing budget – providing devices for S to use at school #BYOTchat |
| mikecrain | Awesome. Putting a new Twitter Chat in my calendar. #BYOTchat Thursdays 6PM PST. Thanks @SteveHayes_RB60! <— #FF |
| BYOTNetwork | Regarding cheating – maybe another strategy is that teachers ask different types of questions anyway! #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 good to hear – I have a few schools thinking about it – I’ll add that to the “pro” list. #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @BYOTNetwork Classroom managment “turtling” devices always on top of desks – face down when not using it T can see it #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @thepaullus6 open guest wifi #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @SrtaLisa Interesting, but it does require Ts to restructure how they approach their lesson #BYOTchat How do we do this? |
| MyTakeOnIt | @ZinkEd_u @thepaullus6 What a great alternative perspective! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Welcome! @ZinkEd_u I like the BYOT huddle! #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @byotnetwork Focusing on open-ended and process questions would be great for this. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @SrtaLisa I’m a big proponent of inquiry-based and problem-seeking learning #BYOTchat |
| Mike_Penta | @BYOTNetwork I’ve said that too. If it can be Googled in 5 seconds then it shouldn’t be on the test. If only State agreed w/that. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | RT @BYOTNetwork: Regarding cheating – maybe another strategy is that teachers ask different types of questions anyway! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @ZinkEd_u love to see kids huddle around one device. Then theres no feeling of being left out if one doesnt have a device #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | RT @thepaullus6: Classroom managment “turtling” device on desks – face down #BYOTchat – doing this already, but stealing phrase, love it |
| thepaullus6 | @SteveHayes_RB60 we are being told it has to be filtered ?SIPA? is that correct? #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @MyTakeOnIt Is your guest network open in terms of site access? Do you use a secure network so that you can identify users? #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: Students learn through videos – another byot plus #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Students learn through videos – another byot plus #BYOTchat |
| nnaditz | @ZinkEd_u @thepaullus6 My sts share cell phones, tablets and/or comps Have done Google docs, Socrative and more that way. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jlubinsky Most of the schools we work with are (coincidentally) “free range”—nothing is blocked or filtered. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TimeToKnow @SrtaLisa @jlubinsky Yes, this is true. Still working on that one. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @Mike_Penta I wish that the testing was different too… #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @SrtaLisa Yeah, but as I mentioned to @jlubinsky the focus on testing makes this difficult. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork @mike_penta testing needs to be portfolio based! Showing understanding through creating #BYOTchat |
| nnaditz | @SteveHayes_RB60 Sts can access just-in-time support using mobile devices (mini lessons, extra practice, etc.). #BYOTchat |

| thepaullus6 | @nnaditz @ZinkEd_u that’s great – the Ss are more collaborative at all grade levels #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nnaditz @jlubinsky I work with some schools that block such amazing resources… I’ve been known to BYOwifi #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt as I see a huddle, I step back and take in pure collaboration. Love when tcher is in the middle of huddle, learning. #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @MyTakeOnIt Ahhhh! In that case, I get it. Our guest access is restricted so not sure if making the move to secure is needed. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork why didn’t I know about this chat before? #BYOTchat |
| thepaullus6 | @MyTakeOnIt @nnaditz @jlubinsky I did that a few times – explain and apologize later…. again. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | BYOTchat archives are posted online at http://t.co/C2T8f9xR #BYOTchat |
| jlubinsky | @nnaditz Our district has a fairly simple unblocking procedure so teachers are able to access necessary web-based tools. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork My feeling about “cheating with BYOT” – if the task is “cheatable,” it’s poorly designed. #BYOTchat |

| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 @ZinkEd_u Had a sad convo w colleague this morning – she’s actually scared of such huddles. How 2 combat that? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt We have filtered wi-fi on a separate VLAN. We only have unfiltered access for teachers when they log into the domain. #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @mytakeonit @nnaditz @jlubinsky Using your phone as a mobile hotspot? Tough to power a whole class #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | It was great to see everyone again on #BYOTchat! Hope 2 see the convo continue in the comments on our web site: http://t.co/hO5OQH3b |
