How to Launch a Successful BYOD Program

How to Launch a Successful BYOD Program | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it


Katy Independent School District (ISD) has a student population of 63,000 students and 56 schools – elementary, middle and high schools. There are 83 languages spoken by students in the district and 31 percent of the student population is on free or reduced lunch programs.

 

In 2009, Katy began a three-year plan to change instruction in the school district by promoting a standardized toolbox of web-based tools dubbed “Web 2.0.” They also set out guidelines for behavior in the digital space called “Digital Citizenship,” in the hopes that the school would not just teach kids math and reading, but also how to behave in a public digital world.

BYOD: Haven’t got a policy? Maybe it’s time you did

BYOD: Haven’t got a policy? Maybe it’s time you did | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it
Most organisations still don’t have a strategy for dealing with the demands of bring your own device - but pressure to have one continues to bui...

 

As a result, he said, companies are increasingly putting a BYOD policy in place. According to IDC’s research, 20 per cent of companies have a BYOD policy in place and 15 per cent are working on it. But that leaves the majority - 65 per cent - nowhere on this issue yet.

 

Simon Gale, CTO at IBM workplace services, said that as a result of BYOD, IT organisations are looking for new ways to secure their infrastructure, as the security perimeter changes from the physical device to the data.

 

“You had a standardised layer that was the device and the operating system. What BYOD is doing is taking away that opportunity for standardisation and so the IT department is trying to work out where that level is”.
