GAETI-2014-MSU Day 11 This morning Dr. Bracey led a discussion on school policy on BYOD. we divided into groups and discussed the policies in schools that we are in and then presented to the class our ideas on the bring your own device policy that some schools have. she then listed pros and cons for the idea. The most common idea was consistency in the school for the teachers and the administration. Several teachers contributed ideas and information on other subjects also. We then gave our ideas of a presentation of what we would present to our home school staff about what we have learned in the institute. After lunch we met in the computer lab and shared what organizations we belong to. I have never used my MPE membership but would not be in a classroom with out the insurance it provides. The Mississippi Council for the Social Studies was also mentioned as was several language organizations. Then to the computers. I am the least computer talented person in the room. I am having difficulty in grasping all the ideas and techniques to master the new stuff. I did get my competency and objectives posted to the Google drive page. I will take all these new ideas, websites etc. and filter through them and pick what I can master and use. I have many new ideas to incorporate more tech in the classroom.
