BYOD Meets Big Data

Technology is more present than ever in the modern day society. While technology has evolved in the past years its use has become an important part of the daily life of a person. Many persons revolve around their phone as their phone has become the center of their life. The cell phone industry has taken over the life of many persons and amongst this person it includes students. Technology is often seen in the shape of a cell phone while technology various from cell phones to computers cell phone are amongst the most used model of technology.

Since the beginning of the school, the teachers have been a very necessary asset for a school. In today’s world technology and teachers are seen as the biggest assets for a school system. The technology is a very important tool in the school system if it is applied and used correctly. The success of the technology is based on the teacher's use of the technology. All together teachers and technology go hand in hand in the roles of the students.

Hernando County has a technology initiative; however, within the each classroom it can be hard to obtain, due to lack of technology. Within Challenger K8 most classrooms have about 2 working computers in the elementary grade levels. In middle school there are classrooms with no computers. We have 5 computer labs that can be scheduled for daily use and then scheduled for testing. Through our community partners the school has received 4 smart boards, and an iMac Lab. Our media person just received a grant for a class set of ipads. Some teacher have bought there own for students to utilize within the class. Hernando County also provided a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy for schools to use at their discretion. The middle school uses BYOD on a daily bases for informal formative assessments, games, and engagement. Teachers also conduct surveys at the beginning of the year to understand what technology is at the student finger tips at home. O’Neal suggests, “it is critical that we look at the use

Technology is everywhere, attached to us in almost every part of our daily lives. Places like café shops, home and as well at schools have technology. Nowadays, schools have technology devices like laptops or tablets that they use as a learning tool for students. Teachers and students use these devices in class for every subject. Text books have been replaced by the laptops or tablets, which are lend to each students in school and can take home. The devices have the apps for each of their subjects and students can read their text book in an e-book format. Additionally, students can do their homework on it, send messages to classmates or teacher, or play educational games that involves their current subjects. Although, these are convenient reasons to use devices in and after school, I must say I don’t agree. Technology devices should not be the primary way for students to learn in school. It has taken away the traditional passive learning pattern, some teacher are not helping or not teaching at all, and students are exposed to danger while walking towards school or home.

As this school is continuously searching for innovative practices to embed enriched learning experiences with the use of technology, this report is intended to examine the policy, ‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)’ and make a decision in regards to implementing this policy within this schools learning environment.

Do you ever wish that you could bring your own device to school? Just think how you wouldn't have to bring home all of your textbooks every night. Additionally, bringing our own devices would make our lives easier, better, and more organized. Overall, the school needs to open their eyes and realize that bringing devices is a must for their students to succeed in their upcoming future.St. John Neumann should let the students bring their devices to further our education.

Education has always been an universal matter of discussion for those who teach and and even for those who learn. This discussion has now become urgent especially since the advent of new technologies and their implications for education. Today there are many studies, ideas and experiences ongoing in education.

Mobile devices have become the gateway to personal working and learning environments that facilitate the exploration of new subjects and ideas at a pace that is suitable to each learner (Johnson et al, 2014). They allow the learners to take ownership of their learning. Education researchers have highlighted BYOD as the best practice to accommodate personalised learning as it provides the conditions to foster student-centred learning. Studies that have looked at one to one technology use in have shown that students’ performances are improved; students felt a sense of ownership and had a positive influence on the students, subject knowledge (Johnson et al, 2014).

In the pockets of millions of students, there resides a device able to access the totality of human knowledge, in an instant. To prohibit the usage of technology in an educational setting should be likened to banning books. If it is a school’s responsibility to cultivate the minds of its pupils, shouldn’t it utilize every available resource? These tools should be used to complement the curriculum, as well as instill in students the importance of using technology responsibly.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is currently implementing the Digital Transformation process. After researching and reading their current process, an element that seems to be beneficial and is working that is allowing students to BYOD (“Bring Your Own Technology”). This initiative allows students and teachers to use their own personal devices during the instructional day by connecting to the schools wireless connectivity.

In conclusion, it is clear that mobile phones are not necessary tool for education beside that they can be used as learning, researching, and communicating devices. They can produce many problems that make learners distract from education, feel sick and experience cheating. So it is our responsibilities to choose which one is good or bad about our lives. It is necessary to us to choose the good one which can

Throughout history there has been numerous changes in Educational Technology. In the past few years, the issue of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has tremendously impacted educational technology throughout the different stages of the education of students. Bring Your Own Device is the ability of students to bring a mobile device from home such as a phone, tablet, or laptop computer to use during classroom activities. The issue of Bring Your Own Device continues to be controversial as a result of its many benefits and challenges it poses for students, schools, and education in general.

One of the biggest challenges for Big Data is how it may affect the quality of auditors’ judgements. When dealing with large amounts of Big Data, auditors must maintain the standards of independence and professional skepticism. They must not let company’s Big Data findings significantly influence their audit opinion to the point where they succumb to audit risk and issue the wrong opinion (Griffin & Wright, 2015, p. 378).

The devices itself can be used by just about anyone with a little knowledge of the device and with several applications downloaded to the devices you can do several things with a simple swipe of a single finger or just with a touch of the devices screen will allow the user and/or users to operate their device for whatever purpose they have thought out to use it for.

Currently, many educational institutions are focused in the use of technology such as; online discuss forum, academic websites, PowerPoint presentation and use of audio-visual aid. Moreover, technology helps students to achieve their intended goal to meet success. For the purpose of this essay, the term technology means materials, digital tools, electronic devices and techniques that have been used in academic study. In addition, success means being expert, knowledgeable, competitive and improving performance in term of grade obtained in result. This essay argues that digital technology leads to success in academic study. This will be supported by analysing the following points. Firstly, digital technology helps students to become knowledgeable, and skilled. Secondly, distance learner can study at their feasible time by which they receive an equal opportunity to upgrade knowledge with the frequent use of digital technology.
