| SteveHayes_RB60 | Join #BYOTchat in 5 minutes as we discuss BYOT/D pitfalls and how to avoid them. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Good evening and welcome to #BYOTchat. Tonight’s topic: “BYOT/D pitfalls and how to avoid them” #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | What are some of the most common pitfalls? #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @d_martin05 @ToddWhitaker “We need to stop asking questions in school that Siri can answer” #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | One pitfall – Teachers returning to old comfortable ways of teaching that don’t empower students. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @BYOTNetwork – Well that put a smile on my face! #byotchat |

| andrewcuthbert | RT @BYOTNetwork: One pitfall – Teachers returning to old comfortable ways of teaching that don’t empower students. #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @byotnetwork Failing to fully integrate technology into their regular habits #BYOTchat |
| onboardlearning | What has been the hardest things for teachers to deal with in classrooms with byot? #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | Investment in Instructional support/pd is necessary along with strong leadership support for #byotchat to be successful |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | … soft sell a riot will ensue – I want to encourage them to change their delivery but not sure how to tell them w/out insulting #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | Common pitfall 1: no instructional support, lack of instructional tech training modeled in pd. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Teachers see BYOT as management or disciplinary tool-it kills the spark #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | teachers & students RT @TimeToKnow: @byotnetwork Failing to fully integrate technology into their regular habits #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @onboardlearning Teachers sometimes think they have to know how every device works before beginning BYOT #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @onboardlearning I think the hardest thing will be taking risks – being willing to step out of comfort zone #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JenniferMiller9 Right! The PD can’t be direct instruction or a lecture to model empowerment #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @TimeToKnow failing to understand what true integration is. #BYOTchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @BYOTNetwork So much pd brought in is not 21st century learning, a lot of lecture, not modeling. #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | RT @ZinkEd_u: @TimeToKnow failing to understand what true integration is. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @JenniferMiller9 I think we should never plan FOR technology. It should be an invisible tool in whatever lesson we plan. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @ZinkEd_u: @TimeToKnow failing to understand what true integration is. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 learning begins at the end of comfort zone. This is the biggest obstacle for many teachers to overcome. #BYOTchat |
| SNewco | BYOD “Food for Thought” http://t.co/xwRaxHnl #mlearning #BYOTchat #edchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Great to see some new faces here for #BYOTchat – thanks for joining us! #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @ZinkEd_u Exactly however #edtech should be involved in the process or decisions #byotchat so that support is addressed |
| BYOTNetwork | Pitfall 2 – Thinking BYOT is all about the devices – It is about community, project-based learning, and online learning #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @squirrelfriend1 How much resistance from teachers have you had during your trial? #byotchat |
| cybraryman1 | Important to make parents aware of how BYOT will be employed for educational purposes. Plan hands-on workshops for them #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Sorry I was only here for a bit – insane day! Look forward to next week’s #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | Tools used must work on a variety of platforms for #byotchat to work. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @BYOTNetwork: Pitfall 2 Thinking BYOT is all about the devices – It is about community, project-based learning,&online learning #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Good point about parent workshop @cybraryman1 Has any other school here been involved w/ parent byot workshop? #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @JenniferMiller9 pd comes from admin they must model. Their presentation stuck on Pwr Point &a lecture. Tchrs think its expected. #BYOTchat |
| squirrelfriend1 | @SteveHayes_RB60 not much resistance b/c it’s a small volunteer grp, but tchers have not had pd and so they are winging it. #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | Good to have students & parents involved in developing AUP(Acceptable Use Policies) for BYOT #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 easier to count how many embrace it.  #BYOTchat hoping for a better year next year. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I think the bulk of our BYOT PD will come from within our own teachers sharing ideas. #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @ZinkEd_u But How will teachers know how to fully integrate if they never see what it looks like, admin must model #byotchat actions speak |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u @SteveHayes_RB60 Love it! “Learning begins at the end of the comfort zone!” #byotchat #edchat |
| trescolumnae | @cybraryman1 Such a great point! Also need hands-on workshops for tchrs and CLEAR expectations for everybody. No chaos! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @cybraryman1: Good to have students & parents involved in developing AUP(Acceptable Use Policies) for BYOT #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @tomrchambers @BYOTNetwork & involving others in true collaboration, problem solving, and using tech as the bridge for engagement #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @cybraryman1 we are planning parent BYOT night, and parents are thrilled. They have lots of ??, but excited about possibilities. #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @stevehayes_rb60 @cybraryman1 Getting parent support in schools is really crucial to a major change like #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes – It is important to target the lead teachers to help spread the BYOT initiative! #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @cybraryman1 Frequent meetings to encourage support, to address parental concerns, instead of reacting to events. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @ZinkEd_u Are you taping (youtube?) your parent night? #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | RT @cybraryman1: Good to have students & parents involved in developing AUP(Acceptable Use Policies) for BYOT #byotchat |
| IamOkema | MT @cybraryman1: Impt to make parents aware of how BYOT will be employed for educ purposes.Plan hands-on workshops for them #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @IamOkema Great idea of having parents do hand-on workshop #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JenniferMiller9 @cybraryman1 In my experience, most parents, students, and admins support BYOT – Guess what group holds out? #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @zinked_u @cybraryman1 Let us know how that goes – some of those questions can be useful for a future #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @JenniferMiller9 modeling and high expectation must come from admin. Just support is not enough if they don’t live the talk.#BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 agree. Collaboration among inspired teachers is the best pd. their passion is contagious. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @cybraryman1 Yes – best way to make sure policies actually work. Also important to start with the WHY before working on the WHAT #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @IamOkema @cybraryman1 And allow for workshops to be addressed to parents in English and Spanish #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes, definitely. For folks trapped in “what abt test scores” paradigm, how to reassure? #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @byotnetwork @JenniferMiller9 @cybraryman1 Do admins always support it? #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 didn’t plan to, but it’s something we might need to do. Great idea! Txs #BYOTchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | RT @ZinkEd_u: @SteveHayes_RB60 agree. Collaboration among inspired teachers is the best pd. their passion is contagious. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | reluctant teachers would be best off to start with one thing – not trying to change everything at one time #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @ZinkEd_u let us know if you do tape it #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork ITS? LOL! #BYOTchat Jk |
| BYOTNetwork | Pitfall 3? – Not having a plan once the excitement of bringing your technology to school wears off! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u Quite possibly! – But I was thinking that the hold outs were the teachers! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | pitfall #3 – Continue focusing on the successes along with offering new ideas #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @trescolumnae good thinkers r good test takers. BYOT allows kids own learning and learn HOW to think instead of WHAT to think #BYOTchat |
| squirrelfriend1 | I have had ss question byot. Some believe tech is unnecessary. I was stunned-last grp I would have guessed. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u I am absolutely with you – but know so many tchrs who are scared b/c “cramming content” has “worked” in past #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae Good point, Justin, but I can’t reassure peeps that test scores improve with BYOT. Skill & drill is too easy! #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork witnessed that too many times, unfortunately. How to deal with that? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Agree – the older the student the more ownership they need to take in their learning ZinkEd_u @trescolumnae #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork Yes – good point! Skill & drill is too easy, but sadly is all that some folks seem to know. How 2 help them? #byotchat |
| JenniferMiller9 | @squirrelfriend1 situations were leaders believe #edtech is unecessary grows when change is feared #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes, definitely. Sadly I see more great stuff w younger sts. Have you read @irasocol piece about middle schools? #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @squirrelfriend1 really? Our SS team largest advocates for BYOT as they teach w/ primary sources…hurray for N’al Archives #BYOTChat |
| trescolumnae | @squirrelfriend1 Have a SS colleague who, till THIS YEAR, used overhead projector and transparencies. Now, progress? doc camera #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @trescolumnae haven’t read @irasocol middle school post – just looked at, will read it after the chat #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @jennifermiller9 So somebody has to push them – parents, or students, or teachers that want it #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JenniferMiller9 Yes – and tchrs need NOT to be afraid of different platforms. Also, sts need to develop troubleshooting skills #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @onboardlearning So many of my sts think device = entertainment only. Hard to change THEIR paradigm to device = lrng tool #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 I see how powerful it is in primary grades, too. Kids “grow up” when given a chance and guided by teachers. #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @trescolumnae @onboardlearning That’s why we need to integrate devices into learning – expands scope of how they see their devices #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Two new changes in IL – evaluations will include the teachers’ use of tech and seniority/tenure no longer a factor in RIF #byotchat |
| squirrelfriend1 | Sorry #BYOTchat by ss I meant students, not social studies, my bad. Students are questioning byot. Some tell me they need speaking skills |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 @irasocol It will rock your world. Ira’s pt: MS often treat sts like 10-yr-olds – no increase in resp when needed #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @trescolumnae I like that train of thought – middle schools students are capable of more than many give them credit for #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @onboardlearning Oddly, for me, it’s been some sts’ perspective on their devices. They think device = entertainment only! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae @onboardlearning Right – students don’t really know how to learn with their devices – they still need their teachers #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Teachers need to ask the right questions to encourage students to learn via BYOT but many want to give answers. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @BYOTNetwork @trescolumnae @onboardlearning Students come to us more as consumers than as producers #byotchat |
| squirrelfriend1 | Any creative ideas for sts w/o devices? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @40ishoracle @squirrelfriend1 For my SS colleagues who use primary sources, yes, BYOT is huge. For those who lecture/worksheet … #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork @onboardlearning Yes – and that’s why tchrs them/ourselves need to feel comfortable with learning w devices #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork this is where role of media center must change from “come check out books” to “come and let’s learn together.” #BYOTchat |
| onboardlearning | RT Where can we find good examples of a day in the life of a school with byot? It’s hard to imagine what goes on (or not) #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @TimeToKnow @onboardlearning Definitely! I find some sts are as scared of device integrated into learning as most resistant tchrs #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Good point! Classrooms that already utilize #PBL often have an easier time with BYOT – the tools help! #byotchat |
| cmt1 | RT @SNewco: BYOD “Food for Thought” http://t.co/9C7qCBhT #mlearning #BYOTchat #edchat |
| BYOTNetwork | “@ZinkEd_u: The role of media center must change from “come check out books” to “come and let’s learn together.” #BYOTchat†|
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Agree! My own kids are 14 and 10 (9th grade and 4th). Have personally witnessed MS give less resp than ES did #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @BYOTNetwork Yes! That’s why my daughter (14) wants to be a school media coordinator … or maybe a teacher. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | “@SteveHayes_RB60: @trescolumnae @onboardlearning Students come to us more as consumers than as producers #byotchat†– And teachers too! |
| TimeToKnow | @trescolumnae @onboardlearning I think there’s a desire by students to keep “learning” and “entertainment” separate in their lives #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @onboardlearning Tim @BYOTnetwork is who you are look for! #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 @BYOTNetwork @onboardlearning Yes – which is sad. Yet actually they DO produce for each other, outside sch. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @TimeToKnow @onboardlearning Yes, I think that’s true. Probably b/c they’ve come 2 see school as opposite of engaging/entertaining #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | RT @BYOTNetwork: “@SteveHayes_RB60: @trescolumnae @onboardlearning Students come to us more as consumers than as producers #byotchat†– And teachers too! |
| ZinkEd_u | @squirrelfriend1 http://t.co/Sw3RxoII I love “BYOT huddle”. Kids r on top of each other, sharing a devic -forces collaboration #BYOTchat |
| TimeToKnow | @trescolumnae @onboardlearning But they learn more fully when the two are part of the same experience #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | The role of media center needs to change from the 1900′s don’t say a word – be still and learn to a more engaging eviroment #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @onboardlearning we have a lot of those in Forsyth! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | RT @BYOTNetwork: Teachers need to ask the right questions to encourage students to learn via BYOT but many want to give answers. #byotchat |
| squirrelfriend1 | @ZinkEd_u this is why I join these chats, great ideas. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork Agree. Comes back to issue of paradigm. For 20c tchrs, teaching = giving info/telling. Hard 2 let go of that! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | “@squirrelfriend1: Any creative ideas for sts w/o devices? #BYOTchat†Is that another pitfall that others see very often? |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @ZinkEd_u “BYOT huddle” – I like that! #byotchat |
| IamOkema | RT @JenniferMiller9: @IamOkema @cybraryman1 And allow for workshops to be addressed to parents in English and Spanish #byotchat <- agree |
| onboardlearning | @trescolumnae @TimeToKnow Do u know of videos where we can SEE classrooms in action or hear teacher explain the learning scenario? #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @squirrelfriend1 Yes – I construct tasks & groups so “at least one screen” – works really well #byotchat |
| TimeToKnow | @trescolumnae @onboardlearning And really, they’re not wrong – that’s why we want to integrate tech, keep them engaged #BYOTchat |
| IamOkema | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: @IamOkema Great idea of having parents do hand-on workshop #byotchat <- @CYBRARYMAN1 ‘s idea I chimmed in. |
| JenniferMiller9 | RT @BYOTNetwork: “@SteveHayes_RB60: @trescolumnae @onboardlearning Students come to us more as consumers than as producers #byotchat†– And teachers too! |
| onboardlearning | @ZinkEd_u Are these scenarios available somewhere to view online? #byotchat Are there min requirements for the technology? |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | For those already doing BYOT, how useful is maintaining BYOT webpage for your teachers with resources? Is it used? #byotchat |
