August 2013 – May
2014
The study will
start at the beginning of this school year with the implementation of BYOD,
and it will end at the conclusion of the academic school year.
|
The resources we
will be using include:
The Principal’s analysis from previous
research done on BYOD in schools, the use of surveys completed by both
teachers and students, and additional findings and studies from the
internet.
|
We will evaluate
the surveys that are going to be completed by the teachers and students,
look at the possible discipline problems associated with BYOD, and compare
the pros and cons from our school to that of previous research regarding
improved student participation and motivation in the classroom.
