Smartphones, etc.
How to Access the Guest
Network
Select the CMSGUEST network in your WIFI settings, then
open the browser on your device and accept the "Acceptable

Why BYOT
Bring Your Own Technology allows students and teachers to
use personally-owned mobile devices to access resources
that might otherwise be inaccessible in the classroom.
Many schools/districts are embarking on BYOT practices in
an effort to save money and stay current with educational
and technological trends! (BYOT provides a 1:1 ratio for
student to computing device.)
Why BYOT
It allows for students to use “real-world” tools in positive
ways to enhance learning and foster skills including
collaboration, communication, research, critical thinking,
creativity and organization skills almost instantly.
e.g. Gaggle, Research projects, PowerSchool, web base polling,
etc.

Sample BYOT Lesson Plan
BYOT DEVICE
Management
Consider asking students to mark their device with their
name, and add device locators.
Ask parents and students to consider purchasing protective
cases for their child's device i.e. padded backpack, rubber
pads, or protective cases.
BYOT DEVICE
Management
Since not every child will have a device, it will be important to consider how to structure the
lesson to facilitate sharing. Assigning students to groups may be based on available devices
and the task at hand. A group might consist of a student with an iPad, laptop, eReader, iPhone,
and/or school owned device.
Be aware of the limitations of each device.
* Students will not have access to Network drive to save their work.
* Printing will not be an option at this time.
* Devices will not be able to email studentcreated products.(Consider using gaggle.net)
