| DrSarahEaton | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: Join #BYOTchat at 9 p.m. (ET) Tonight’s topic “Marketing Your BYOT Program” It’s important to get everyone to the table! #BYOTchat |
| neene | Looking forward to #BYOTchat tonight. Glad I remembered it’s Thursday. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Hi Steve, hello everyone! Welcome back to #BYOTchat! |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome to #BYOTchat! Tonight’s topic “Marketing Your School’s BYOT Program” #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens yeah, we make a lot more headway with presentations and conversations. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | What are some strategies that you have tried to market your BYOT program in your classroom/school/district/community? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens And perhaps even harder in under 140 characters! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MyTakeOnIt Hi Jeremy – How is that awesome son of yours? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork we had our project written up and became a puff piece #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 He’s awesome! & I’m thrilled to have him as a panelest in my #askastudent session at #EdCampBos this Saturday! #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @nathan_stevens I’m finding video is my saving grace #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Selling Words: Promoting Your Your Second Language Program http://t.co/GbbW2OAF by @DrSarahEaton #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Good evening everyone! I like the new profile pics @nathan_stevens and @JamesDiGioia #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | When you’re talking about “marketing”, do you mean “promotion”? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | School marketing how to help your school shine its brightest http://t.co/V2QBmTeJ by @DrSarahEaton #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I want to welcome Dr. Sarah Eaton @DrSarahEaton http://t.co/tBQ5CDbT who is an expert in this field! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I would think so @DrSarahEaton When you’re talking about “marketing”, do you mean “promotion”? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork thanks, I clay faced myself #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @nathan_stevens If you can’t explain #BYOTchat program in 2 minutes, you’re doing it wrong  |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @stevehayes_rb60: “Selling Words: Promoting Your Your Second Language Program” http://t.co/qQVFkHSd by @DrSarahEaton #BYOTchat Tx for RT |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | My school is concerned but does little to promote itself or it’s programs. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | RT @40ishoracle: @nathan_stevens I think video is missing piece of our web presence. Text not quite getting whole message across. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | One key to a good BYOT program: self-guided learning. Let the students pick their tools, too! #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @DrSarahEaton aren’t they the same? Promotion and marketing #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton I think promoting is a good word for it, yes #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @drsaraheaton Well, not just promotion – it’s about getting people on board. That should be the focus of your marketing/promotions #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries @40ishoracle @nathan_stevens ~ Video is important because students often use their devices differently than at home #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | If you don’t tell the community what you are doing, they decide for themselves! Invite them in! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | The 4 Ps of #marketing: Product, Price, Place and Promotion #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @JamesDiGioia Explaining BYOT isn’t the hard part. Getting past old paradigms is. We’re finding it takes personal contact.#byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @MyTakeOnIt I agree. I learn so much from students about good tools that they use. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | Having a correct picture of what you are doing to get any buy in from others #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @JamesDiGioia Funny thing: once out of school many adults (e.g. heads of schools) DO choose THEIR own Devices #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | In the 21st Century there is a 5th P of #marketing – Partnerships – We have more power together than alone #byotchat |
| jdferries | RT @BYOTNetwork: Video is important because students often use their devices differently than at home #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @JanetLDee: @MyTakeOnIt I agree. I learn so much from students about good tools that they use. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia @drsaraheaton So maybe the terms we’re working wtih here are “marketing, buy-in, and promotion.” #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @BYOTNetwork When you started your school’s BYOT program, did you have a team promoting the program? #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Have a transparent program helps to put many fire down with parents. #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @theresashafer: If you don’t tell the community what you are doing, they decide for themselves! Invite them in! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @jdferries: RT @BYOTNetwork: Video is important because students often use their devices differently than at home #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @jamesdigioia I’d call that advocacy or PR… Which are critical in promoting educational endeavours #byotchat |
| jasteffens | #BYOTchat who do you market to first? |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @jdferries @40ishoracle @nathan_stevens Showing > explaining the difference between home + school use #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @DrSarahEaton In the 21st Century there is a 5th P of #marketing – Partnerships – We have more power together than alone #byotchat |
| jdferries | think its important to understand where people are coming from. you cant win some over.some need advice. some want an iPad  #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @40ishoracle Agreed… Changing paradigms is a huge piece of the work. Takes a long time. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | We started advertisement with our School Counsel to make parents excited about the program before we started the pilot this year. #byotchat |
| neene | #BYOTchat Marketing/Promoting – marketing implies sales and purchases. Promoting implies help to flourish. Interesting semantic. |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @DrSarahEaton: @jamesdigioia I’d call that advocacy or PR… Which are critical in promoting educational endeavours #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MyTakeOnIt @JamesDiGioia True. But adults still expect school to make decisions for students. shift from their school experience #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 We started with the teacher leaders, and they “sold” BYOT to their students, parents, and colleagues. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @jamesdigioia @drsaraheaton all of these terms go hand in hand #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @MyTakeOnIt I also like the idea of differentiating with BYOD as advanced lessons are so easily available on itunesU and khan #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit Agree. It is complex work, which is what makes it a bit messy. Typical in education though. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Let kids show what they have created and learned with their devices is the most selling point ever! #BYOTChat |
| DrSarahEaton | @stevehayes_rb60 Smart move indeed! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton haha! Love the irony: Education often makes simple concepts more complicated for the sake of explaining them! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @drsaraheaton I like that – advocacy is important! #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | True! RT @ZinkEd_u: Let kids show what they have created and learned with their devices is the most selling point ever! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | It’s important to be patient when marketing educational programs of any kind. #byotchat |
| jdferries | think im getting jaded by the 1% who continue “what do you mean?” when i think they are trying to say “i dont like it” #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork and you sold it easily because of your passion. When passion shines through and is that strong, it is contagious. #BYOTChat |
| DrSarahEaton | We can market products, services or ideas. I think what we’re talking about here is promoting an idea, a new way of doing things. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @JamesDiGioia So one aspect of marketing/promoting BYOT would be to likewise promote self-guided learning #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit Do you find organic programs tend to go over better than planned programs? or vice versa? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @JamesDiGioia tech petting zoo plan the environment and let the questions and conversation be organic. doing the same w/tchrs #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | RT @DrSarahEaton: It can take 2 to 5 years to get a new educational program fully functional and accepted by stakeholders. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 I’ve learned it was one of the best decisions we made. #BYOTChat |
| DrSarahEaton | Agree - So one aspect of marketing/promoting BYOT would be to likewise promote self-guided learning #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @MissDSciTeacher @MyTakeOnIt Our BYOD Pilot Teachers say it helps greatly with differentiated instruction #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia I think @nimblepress asked me a similar question the other day. I don’t know that one is better than the other… #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @40ishoracle I like this – advocate for #BYOTchat use for self-guided learning outside of the classroom as well. |
| DrSarahEaton | It can take 2 to 5 years to get a new educational program fully functional and accepted by stakeholders. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u ~ Having teachers visit each other’s classrooms to see BYOT can help with ideas and creating a sense of community. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | This is iP@d centric but, great example of video for promo http://t.co/QzZX343U #byotchat |
| jdferries | RT @DrSarahEaton: It can take 2 to 5 years to get a new educational program fully functional and accepted by stakeholders. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia What’s important is that students have input in their own learning and learning tools #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | TedTalk from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on “flow” http://t.co/fFy3TwsI seems to relate #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Effective marketing seeks to engage people’s emotions, not just their logic #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @theresashafer Great promo video! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @ZinkEd_u ~ Having teachers visit each others classrooms to see BYOT can help with ideas and creating a sense of community. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @drsaraheaton Yes! And we’re probably better of taking cues from non-profit advocacy programs over corporate marketing. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Studies show (I need links!) that students learn & teachers teach more effectively when they choose their own tools #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork agree. It’s better to see once than hear 1001 fairy tale stories! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 not just visit, but show how it is not much to add to their day. I get a lot, oh I need to plan extra for tech #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @DrSarahEaton: Effective marketing seeks to engage peoples emotions, not just their logic #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | @DrSarahEaton Little ones are just too adorable! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @byotnetwork Agree. Creating community helps others feel it is safe to accept a new idea. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries It’s kind of good to hear you say that you sometimes feel jaded. I want to get past the “convincing” stage! #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @JamesDiGioia the power is in owning learning. Agree! #BYOTChat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries Yeah – I LOVE the tech petting zoo. It seems like the event would generate a lot of ideas as you play w a device #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 @ZinkEd_u Yes! EMOTIONAL buy-in is as important as logical buy-in: Speak to their hearts AND heads! #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | @MyTakeOnIt That is a study I’d love to have a link too! Tag me if you find it! #byotchat |
| neene | #BYOTchat have a great night everyone. Checking out. Sorry. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @nathan_stevens very good point #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @JanetLDee the @40ishoracle is the expert. we run them anywhere at this point. we’ll have quite a few this summer as we go 1:1 #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Look up Everett Rogers Diffusion of Innovations theory to understand why some people are slower to accept new tech #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @TheresaShafer very cute video! #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | One hurdle may be getting past “back to basics” still some who think tech doesn’t belong , much less BYOT ! #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | RT @TheresaShafer: This is iP@d centric but, great example of video for promo http://t.co/QzZX343U #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @theresashafer Yes, they make you say, “Aw! Isn’t that cute!” = engaging your emotions = great promo. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @SteveHayes_RB60 No school I’m working w/ it just captured me a few months ago. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Parent workshops are powerful too. We started slow this year and did it with ESOL families. Effective! #BYOTChat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer I know David Whittier of BU School of Ed has studied benefits of chosing own tools. Dunno if he posts online. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 @ZinkEd_u ~ I like using the pressure of students asking “Why do the kids in their class get BYOT?” #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @neene We’ll miss you! Thanks for joining us. #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 @ZinkEd_u Yes EMOTIONAL buy-in is as important as logical buy-in: Speak to their hearts AND heads! #BYOTchat |
| ptrkmkl | RT @TheresaShafer: If you don’t tell the community what you are doing, they decide for themselves! Invite them in! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @ZinkEd_u: Parent workshops are powerful too. We started slow this year and did it with ESOL families. Effective! #BYOTChat |
| nathan_stevens | One thing to show that what they are already do is easily adaptable to BYOT #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee @MissDSciTeacher In a BYOT setting you MUST differentiate learning—everyone has different tools AND skill levels #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Just wondering if any of you have implemented a strategic promo / advocacy plan that guides your promo? #byotchat |
| jasteffens | #BYOTchat If implementing BYOT, pilot first in a few classes, or just go school wide? |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | OK, Let’s say we have a parent that doesn’t want their child using BYOT because they think it’s a waste of $. We should…? #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @mytakeonit: @JanetLDee @MissDSciTeacher In BYOT setting you MUST differentiate learning—everyone has dif tools & skill levels #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jasteffens always pilot a few classes to work out bugs and to collect a data #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @nathan_stevens: One thing to show that what they are already do is easily adaptable to BYOT #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I love the idea of parent workshop @BYOTnetwork #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @DrSarahEaton “strategic promo / advocacy plan” What would be some good first steps? #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 Or parents of those teachers who don’t do it pressure them with the same question! #BYOTChat |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens ~ Adapting is a good first step to convince teachers. Sometimes just those baby steps can lead to bigger strides! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | What are the myths that need busting re: BYOT? That can be part of your promo #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | Has anyone had concerns from parents about BYOT inclusion? How did you deal with it? #byotchat |
| jdferries | RT @TheresaShafer: One hurdle may be getting past “back to basics” still some who think tech doesn’t belong , much less BYOT ! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton @JamesDiGioia Yes, we’re promoting an idea; a behavior. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer Looking forward to watching the video later. Thanks for sharing! #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Imagine your next newsletter: “3 Myths about BYOT Busted!” #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | Idk who said it first but I love the quote ” Your students are already bringing their own tech, you just might not admit it” #byotchat |
| jasteffens | @nathan_stevens How many would you start with and for how long? What data did/would you gather to promote it to others #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Often when I teach, I begin by saying, “Pull out your devices.” I do the same in front entire schools (assembles), etc… #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @TheresaShafer we have had one strong prnt advocate of that but not huge. our teachers are generally pro or neutral. student pro #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @TheresaShafer Did your school make a BYOT video? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens @jasteffens ~ That is the best part of my job ~ an eager class with an open-minded teacher to try new things! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @DrSarahEaton: Imagine your next newsletter: “3 Myths about BYOT Busted!” #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @drsaraheaton Yes! #BYOTchat advocacy can get wrapped into current parent + community outreach. |
| MyTakeOnIt | There is somethng marketable about the TRUST teachers and students must have in each other for a successfull BYOT program #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @SteveHayes_RB60 As fiscal responsibility. We could spend $ on laptops locked in carts or allow personal device 4 every student. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @ZinkEd_u I like your solution! #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit I do the same thing. It’s a powerful way to open, as it gives permission for people to engage. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | RT @DrSarahEaton: Imagine your next newsletter: “3 Myths about BYOT Busted!” #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @jasteffens few classes! #BYOTChat |
| nathan_stevens | @jasteffens we piloted for three semesters to collect a large enough sample size #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I LOVE @mluhtala’s students’ We Trust You video: http://t.co/Kjnq3Ph7 #BYOTchat |
| plahnb | I’ve done byot strong this year and as soon as I opened it up parents bought iPods kids engaged #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 it’s simply a choice. They get a pencil! Some parents don’t want their children pledge allegiance either. #BYOTChat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork @jasteffens for me, it is seeing those who were in our pilot classes go out and purchase their own device #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton Yes! BYOT encourages stus to engage 1-another & the teacher & thanks 2 soc med, 2 engage ppl outside the class #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | As an ITS ~ I try to model a lot for my teachers. I show them how I have to learn from the kids, too. I also can make mistakes. #byotchat |
| jdferries | RT @DrSarahEaton: Regular, slow, consistent and patient marketing works better than one big blitz #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Regular, slow, consistent and patient marketing works better than one big blitz #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MissDSciTeacher often. We take one case at a time and try to work magic. #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @stevehayes_rb60 A spreadsheet / calendar with regular promo activities every month – newsletter / workshops, etc. #byotchat |
| jdferries | on the flip side. love sitting with students who are in serious discernment over the right device. great way to watch minds work. #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit Agree. Building trust is the foundation of credible marketing. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @DrSarahEaton: Regular, slow, consistent and patient marketing works better than one big blitz #byotchat |
| jasteffens | What teaching of responsible use goes along with implementing BYOT and how do you market that to parents and community? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | I’m glad you’re here, @plahnb ~ I also noticed that the expectations of the teacher can help determine the devices kids bring. #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @jamesdigioia Agree! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @jasteffens Leading by example can be a powerful motivator, too. You’re right on the mark with that. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @jasteffens resp.use has been a big part of the positive sell for us. they like knowing that we talk about HOW the tool is used. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u @MissDSciTeacher ~ It’s not just magic! I can vouch that @ZinkEd_u has a lot of passion for empowering students! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: I love the idea of parent workshop @BYOTnetwork #BYOTchat —Start the WS by asking parents to take out their devices! |
| JamesDiGioia | @jasteffens Explain to parents that using #BYOTchat in class helps to teach responsible use. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jasteffens Piloting is always a good idea so ppl have a chance to “try before they buy-in,” so to speak. #BYOTchat |
| plahnb | @BYOTNetwork sadly w/o the kids bring there’s in could not use things like socrative #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @JamesDiGioia: @jasteffens Explain to parents that using #BYOTchat in class helps to teach responsible use. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | A logo / graphic that represents your program is important. I the way FCS uses their students’ pictures #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @jdferries: @jasteffens resp.use has been a big part of the positive sell for us. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @OmnidoxTeam Thanks! I’ll see if I have time to try it out tonight after #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | It’s crucial to understand what’s important to different stakeholders (e.g. teachers, parents, kids) and address indiv. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton A previous #BYOTchat was about busting the BYOT myths: http://t.co/fzvkWwlG |
| MissDSciTeacher | RT @MyTakeOnIt: RT @SteveHayes_RB60: I love the idea of parent workshop @BYOTnetwork #BYOTchat —Start the WS by asking parents to take out their devices! |
| BYOTNetwork | @jasteffens When students make mistakes with personal tech, I say, this is why we need BYOT~to learn responsibility in context #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @DrSarahEaton: What are the myths that need busting re: BYOT? That can be part of your promo #byotchat See: http://t.co/fzvkWwlG |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork thank you! I got it from you - inspirational leader who keeps me on my toes consistently! love learning from you! #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | Thanks for so many great ideas tonight from #byotchat. |
| MyTakeOnIt | If you have a BYOT video, please post a link on the #BYOTchat wiki at http://t.co/jvnBOAIz — I’ll add a page for it! |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @jasteffens and make sure to get the right pilots! It’s a huge success when you have people who are 100% in. #BYOTChat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @byotnetwork @jasteffens When students make mistakes with personal tech, I say, this is why we need BYOT~to learn resp. #byotchat |
| jasteffens | Isn’t what we are doing right now an example of why you would want BYOT? Teaching kids how to collaborate in an appropriate way #BYOTchat |
| plahnb | @BYOTNetwork @jasteffens some people feel we should just put kids in the safety bubble #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @MyTakeOnIt: If you have a BYOT video, please post a link on the #BYOTchat wiki at http://t.co/jvnBOAIz — I’ll add a page for it! |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT..Isnt what we are doing right now an example of why you would want BYOT? Teaching kids how to collaborate in an appropriate way #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jasteffens Yes! #BYOTchat is a “leading by example” group. |
| TheresaShafer | Do you guys that have byot in your schools have more “wide open” access? Like not blocking social media, you tube etc…? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @TheresaShafer Social media is not blocked at our high school – and only FB is blocked at the JH (kids know how to get to it) #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @TheresaShafer We do have filtered Internet access for students. It isn’t my ideal, but it is comforting to parents/teachers. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt post QR codes in hallways with “your child work” title & watch parent pulling out their phones! Make it about them. #BYOTChat |
| DrSarahEaton | Anyone ever done a “parent cafe” around BYOT? I’ve done them re: tech in general in Calgary. Have worked well #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @SteveHayes_RB60 Love this logo: http://t.co/LQoELGfm #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @zinked_u Agree! Effective promotion is always about THEM, not about you, your program or your policies. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @DrSarahEaton let students play in the beginning to establish boundaries of what. Is exceptable #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @JamesDiGioia: @byotnetwork @SteveHayes_RB60 Love this logo: http://t.co/2F0PL6uP #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia I just created a page on the #BYOTchat wiki for BYOT videos—please add yours: http://t.co/4F2r0kS0 |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MissDSciTeacher Hello NZ! #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Agree. @nathan_stevens: @DrSarahEaton let students play in the beginning to establish boundaries of what. Is exceptable #BYOTchat |

| MyTakeOnIt | RT @ZinkEd_u: “@MyTakeOnIt I have Prezi. Will that work?” Your call—post on video or resources wiki page #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u @MyTakeOnIt Yes, use BYOT with parents at a PTA meeting! Have them backchannel a discussion or poll them w questions. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | Anyone have a BYOT Pinterest Board I can follow? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @DrSarahEaton … “parent cafe” idea is great Was it kind of like a wifi coffee shop with a speaker? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Hmmm… Speaking of which, maybe it’s time we design a logo for #BYOTchat!! Any artists in the house? |
| ZinkEd_u | @TheresaShafer no, we have very conservative network settings. No iTunes, YouTube, FB, etc. #BYOTChat it’s ok -forces parents help at home. |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens @DrSarahEaton The “play” aspect is also an important first step for students and teachers. Play is how we learn! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @stevehayes_rb60 Not exactly. It builds on the “world cafe” concept. Parents gather at the school to discuss a topic. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @JamesDiGioia: @jasteffens Explain to parents that using #BYOTchat in class helps to teach responsible use. |
| DrSarahEaton | Agree. @jamesdigioia: @BYOTNetwork @nathan_stevens @DrSarahEaton The concept of “play as learning” is really under-rated #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Hmmm… Speaking of which, maybe its time we design a logo for #BYOTchat!! Any artists in the house? #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | When people ask me what BYOT looks like I say the airport. People meeting their productivity needs on chosen device #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @stevehayes_rb60 I’ve done parent cafes on Internet safety and tech. Parents came in scared. Left relieved. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @nathan_stevens @DrSarahEaton The concept of “play as learning” is really under-rated #BYOTchat |

| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Maybe a backpack overfowing with laptop, iPad, smartphone, gaming device, iPod, etc…? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt we did the backchannel with the Internet safety parent meeting. It was great #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork very true, play is how we develop norms for devices #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @40ishoracle When ppl ask what BYOT looks like I say the airport. People meeting their productivity needs on chosen device #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @jasteffens Bandwidth seems to be an issue for many schools, even more than going wireless. Amt needed is underestimated. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Love it @40ishoracle BYOT … looks like the airport – so true #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 I like that idea! Students often bring in multiple devices! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @TheresaShafer we have run out of ip addresses a few times with all of the devices #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries @MyTakeOnIt What did you use for the backchannel? Pluses/minuses of that particular method? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork @SteveHayes_RB60 It was @kangoff’s idea #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @TheresaShafer @40ishoracle I give the example of a college classroom. I ask, “Will your child be ready for college?” #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @theresashafer In #Alberta where i live, they are in the process of getting some school busses equipped with wifi! #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | For our BYOT webinar for #ISTE SIGTE on Monday, @jdferries and I invited parents to be the live studio audience. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @JamesDiGioia @MyTakeOnIt i’m a big todaysmeet fan. other teachers in our building use gTalk or even a gDoc. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @DrSarahEaton Love that ! Ss spend so much time on them and could be connecting! #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thanks for the special hello, inspiration and advice! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia @jdferries I used Today’s Meet last week at an assembly with @dancallahan #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MissDSciTeacher I think it’s so cool to communicate with teachers from all over the world. Twitter is a great tool. #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @theresashafer “School Bus Wi-Fi: The wheels of young minds go round and round” http://t.co/nYkza4z4 #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork @theresashafer @40ishoracle being in a college environment, students know more about their mob dev than other tech #BYOTchat |
| TheresaShafer | @DrSarahEaton So happy I joined tonight, expanding the PLN ! Thanks so much everyone! This is a great chat! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Heck, yeah! @MissDSciTeacher I think it’s so cool to communicate with teachers from all over the world. Twitter is a great tool. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries @JamesDiGioia I often use GDoc as backchannel—I always share one w/ attendees when I present @ a conferences #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens being in an HSl environment: same. our role is now to show them how to unlock the potential and enhance their use #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I’m thinking that the more BYOT is promoted, the more students/parents will expect reluctant teachers to buy-in #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @DrSarahEaton Would you explain “Parent Cafe?” #BYOTchat |
| jenfelke | RT @TheresaShafer: If you don’t tell the community what you are doing, they decide for themselves! Invite them in! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer Many of the BYOT schools with which I work are “Free Range” — any tech/any place minimal filtering #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @theresashafer Likewise! Love the energy of this group! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @jenfelke: RT @TheresaShafer: If you dont tell the community what you are doing, they decide for themselves! Invite them in! #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @DrSarahEaton Thanks! School has just gone BYOD. Actually just thinking a PD session over lunch to show staff #byotchat would be awesome! |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jasteffens @jdferries @jamesdigioia Backchannel (Twitter is great e.g.) allows convo to happen in the background of class. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | just responded to prnt email. useful having an FAQ. address the direct question, refrnce FAQ, invite feedback http://t.co/vaRpS7FU #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit Parents are invited to a school to join a conversation with teachers or each other. The school is the hub. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Right! I love the idea of students “leading up” to their teachers in BYOT! #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit A facilitator leads a discussion on a topic and parents have the opp. to share ideas and suggestions. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @jasteffens a way for questions and comments that happen in whispers and clusters anyway to be shown and guide the discussion #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @MissDSciTeacher: @SteveHayes_RB60 I showed my class the #byotchat happening live to model collaboration with devices (thanks to NZ time zone) |
| JamesDiGioia | @jasteffens Sure – http://t.co/CovIm5Ow – let me know if you have any questions #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit School supports the “cafe” by providing a space to gather and literally, they put on the coffee pot. #byotchat |
| jasteffens | @jasteffens: @MyTakeOnIt @jdferries @jamesdigioia Can you tell me what you mean by back channel? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @nathan_stevens: @DrSarahEaton let students play in the beginning to establish boundaries of what. Is exceptable #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @mytakeonit The parents build their own little community, as they talk openly about a topic. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @stevehayes_rb60 Getting student/parent buy-in puts pressure on teachers to start using tech in the classroom #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 @MissDSciTeacher Skype is another great tool for opening the world for students and teachers. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MissDSciTeacher @SteveHayes_RB60 AWESOME!! #BYOTchat FTW |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @TheresaShafer: Anyone have a BYOT Pinterest Board I can follow? #byotchat We just started a #BYOTchat wiki—pinterest is a good idea |
| TheresaShafer | I often use http://t.co/q9u2rD77 to demo tweets or use http://t.co/JhxQwOLu to show a hashtag etc… #byotchat |
| DrSarahEaton | @missdsciteacher Great idea! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jasteffens The back channel can also be projected during the discussion. Join.me is a great free tool for that use. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @TheresaShafer Have there been any problems/complaints w free range access? #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | RT @byotnetwork: @SteveHayes_RB60 @MissDSciTeacher Skype is another great tool for opening the world for students and teachers. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Check out Sarah’s work http://t.co/GbbW2OAF & http://t.co/V2QBmTeJ and her website: http://t.co/tBQ5CDbT #BYOTchat |

| nathan_stevens | @TheresaShafer if you have an iOS device, I use tweetboard app #byotchat |

| JamesDiGioia | I have a Pinterest: http://t.co/v5EWYGn6 I believe @byotnetwork does too #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @DrSarahEaton Thank you for joining us tonight!! #BYOTchat |
| DrSarahEaton | Marketing is ultimately more about building positive relationships than it is about “selling”. #byotchat |
| jasteffens | @JamesDiGioia #BYOTchat thanks! That helps |
| TheresaShafer | Just really getting started w/ Pinterest http://t.co/gn3XzuBP will be adding a BYOT board after the chat! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: “@DrSarahEaton Thank you for joining us tonight!! #BYOTchat” Yes, it was a pleasure chatting with you! |
| TheresaShafer | @JamesDiGioia would that be Tim Clark? Just found him! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt i think i named one that but only the bird cartoon is up there right now. #learningpinterestslowly #byotchat |

| JamesDiGioia | @theresashafer That would be him indeed! I just added you. Mine’s a bit sparse right now, but I’m working on it #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @TheresaShafer Great! Then I will repin everything that you pin to your board! That is the extent of my Pinterest vocab! #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @SteveHayes_RB60 If you can somehow add an image to the wiki, I can pin it to a byot chat board on pinterest! #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | Thanks all and good night. Excellent ideas to reflect upon #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | chat archives will be posted (by the very awesome @JamesDiGioia) at http://t.co/wDb50UYI #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | As always, it was a pleasure chatting BYOT with you all! Thank you!! #BYOTchat |

| SteveHayes_RB60 | Thank you everyone for sharing tonight! #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | RT @JamesDiGioia: @BYOTNetwork has a pearltree for digital learning as well. Great resource. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u @JamesDiGioia And I learned about Pearltrees from @40ishoracle ~ She’s the real guru! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: chat archives will be posted (by the very awesome @JamesDiGioia) at http://t.co/wDb50UYI #BYOTchat |

| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @ZinkEd_u Pearltrees didn’t make a whole lot of sense to be at first. But neither did Pinterest – always learning! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Awesome chat tonight everybody! Maybe we can work together to consolidate some of these marketing strategies on the wiki. #byotchat |
| jdferries | RT @BYOTNetwork: @ZinkEd_u @JamesDiGioia And I learned about Pearltrees from @40ishoracle ~ She’s the real guru! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Any BYOTchatters interested in helping design/create a logo for #BYOTchat & the wiki, please let me know! @nathan_stevens @BYOTNetwork |
| BYOTNetwork | I did figure out how to embed my Pearltrees into my blog if you want to see… http://t.co/g31htkH9 #byotchat |
| jdferries | that @40ishoracle, she also love being called a guru, neh? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Any BYOTchatters interested in helping design/create a logo for #BYOTchat & the wiki, please let me know! @SteveHayes_RB60 @jamesdigiola |
| 40ishoracle | Love #Pearltrees! @BYOTNetwork: @ZinkEd_u @JamesDiGioia And I learned about Pearltrees from @40ishoracle ~ She’s the real guru! #byotchat†|
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork I really should make good on my “I’ll write more for the blog” promise – this and #digcit chat we’re great for that #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork please send me an email with the directions on how to do it. I have been trying! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | Also, starting #BYOTchat Twitter list: https://t.co/LWJGw3Qq – still working on it, but everyone ever will be there. |
| TheresaShafer | So very quickly pinned together a board! I’ll do better going forward! http://t.co/jPrufcRk #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MissDSciTeacher Great! Do you have some artistic skills? #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork Not to complain too much, but with it being so small, it’s kinda hard to navigate #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @theresashafer Followed! #BYOTchat Anyone else want to post their Pinterest accounts? |
| OmnidoxTeam | @MyTakeOnIt #BYOTchat Interesting, had not heard of it. Now following some of the conversation. In any case, we’ll be in touch next week. |
| TheresaShafer | @MyTakeOnIt Totally already followed it based on the video you tweeted! #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @JamesDiGioia When I did a very quick search I found more under BYOD than BYOT…but VERY few resources. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer I should point out that I have BYOT @scoop.it: http://t.co/YFV0Z4cG #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @TheresaShafer @JamesDiGioia Yeah, until I started to working with @SteveHayes_RB60 on #BYOTchat I always said BYOD |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @TheresaShafer Arrgh! So many social bookmarking sites! I use Pinterest and Diigo – is Scoop.it worth adding? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia @TheresaShafer HAHAHA!! @Scoopit vs. Pinterest vs. Diigo… choose what technology suits you best—that’s BYOT! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @TheresaShafer @SteveHayes_RB60 Yeah, but @jdferries makes some good points about T > D http://t.co/wdbodsp9 #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | RT @aussietony: Puppy social networking. What’s next? http://t.co/fDMcwLZ0 #BYOTchat #Edchat |
| TheresaShafer | @JamesDiGioia Can’t do it all! I follow a couple scoops, but they email so i read whenev. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @theresashafer I HIGHLY recommend Pocket (formerly Read It Later) – life-saver for catching up on reading http://t.co/6tVDJ49t #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @JamesDiGioia thx. hoping the research blogs this week overtake it eventually, but that one is still WAY out in front. #byotchat |
| TheresaShafer | @JamesDiGioia Nice…just pinned that article too! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MissDSciTeacher I’ll get in touch w/ the other BYOTeamembers & discuss w/ them how to approach the logo & I’ll be in touch #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries Yeah – I added your articles to my reading list, but haven’t gotten to it yet, unfortunately. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | good #byotchat, grading done, emails answered, next blog outlined and chromebook needs juice. Time to switch to some kindle and ka-tet |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @jamesdigioia @theresashafer I think it corresponds to your learning style or personality! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | Alright, getting late – I’m out, Tweeple! Thanks again for a great #BYOTchat! |
