‘BYOD in Education – Best practices, policies and digital citizenship’
Overview
As more schools embrace Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, educators and leaders are grappling with key questions: How do we implement BYOD effectively? What policies ensure safety and equity? How do we support digital citizenship in a BYOD environment? This webinar will explore the opportunities and risks of BYOD, offering practical guidance on how to create a secure, inclusive, and learning-focused BYOD environment. Our expert panel will discuss best practices, policy considerations, and digital citizenship, equipping you with the tools to maximise the benefits of student-owned devices in education while ensuring responsible, ethical, and safe technology use.
We will explore:
Best practices for implementing a successful BYOD policy in schools
How to embed digital citizenship into BYOD initiatives
Overcoming challenges: security, equity, and safeguarding in a BYOD environment
How to ensure student-owned devices enhance, rather than distract from, learning
