TWIN VALLEY BYOD LESSONS LEARNED• Be prepared to communicate with stakeholders
• School Board, Parents, Students, Teachers
• The “savings” question
• You will not see major dollars saved in short term
• You will gain: Instructional time, user engagement
• Web services.. Cloud, Intranets, etc.
• Faculty Development
• Create confidence in them by helping them understand that they will not have to fix computers
• The mission is not a budget savings scheme, but laying the groundwork for the inevitable evolution of technology use in the school system
