'the top five barriers to increased use of mobile devices in your place of work’ ???
comments on post-it notes please
Myth busting – fears/assumptions found to be unfounded or exaggerated
• mobile technologies inappropriate/too difficult for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities
• all young people automatically understand new technology and require no training
• Allowing mobile technologies (especially phones) in colleges/schools = difficult for teachers to control classes and inappropriate behaviour
• Giving expensive, portable kit to young or disadvantaged learners will = damage, loss & theft
nationally <2% lost/stolen/broken in Phase one
nationally <1% lost/stolen/broken in Phase two
Trust + clear rules and expectations + interesting lessons the keys to behaviour management success
Accessing unsuitable material
If students:
• use our filtered wi-fi connection, they are as safe as on a college computer
• want to use their 3G or GPRS connection there isn’t much we can do, other than if we find out they are in breach of the AUP
Digital divide - is it fair?• not all students have mobile devices, and the quantity
and quality of devices varies• we don’t set bringing a device as an expectation just
an option• there are enough devices in student ownership not to
ignore them• Paul Haigh, Assistant Headteacher at Notre Dame
estimates a potential £750,000 worth of student -owned hardware is in his school on a daily basis ……. for a College sum is higher …… Sheffield College has over 22,000 learners (over 36,000 enrolments)…… if 20,000 have a mobile phone, costing an average £100 => £2,000,000 worth of hardware ……
is this radical? - No
• shifting the emphasis from outlawing the devices students own to outlawing the way a minority of students use them
• Schools/Colleges are falling behind what is normal use of technology for everyone - we deal with the future of people, we should be leading the way
• about opening the door to allow Teaching and Learning to evolve in a 21st C environment
'the top five changes you want in order to increase the use of mobile devices in your place of work’ ???
comments on post-it notes please
The ‘top five’ changes – wi-fi !
Sheffield College
ILT Strategy 2010 – 2013
4.2.2 - By July 2012, the College will have:
‘Allowed 100% wireless access in all college main sites for student and staff’s own devices’

Total number - increasing
Number of College provided devices (IT Systems) – initially increasing, but then decreasing
Number of student owned devices used for learning within the College – increasing
Cross-over point – 2012?
The future???College becomes more of a provider of connectivity
College owned fixed device
College owned mobile device
Learner OwnedDevices
College Internet Services
Internet
No restriction from college
regarding access Some control in place
Log-on process occurs to gain
both System and Internet access. Internet access
may be restricted.
Possibility of some restriction if device
is controlledin some way
Connectivity Issues
Possibly through: ‘free’ wi-fi access (eg.Starbucks)
‘home’ Internet Service provider (ISP)3G connection via phone network

Integral part of the College Interim Strategic Plan 2009-2012
‘1.2.2 To encourage the use of digital technology in teaching and learning, including the use of mobile devices’
