Tim recently received his Doctor of Education in Leadership for Learning with a concentration in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, and his dissertation focused on designing online learning communities for elementary students.

We are in committee in Richardson, Texas discussing BYODevice. Do you have an AUP in place that you would share.

Hi Jan,
Here is a link to a sample AUP for BYOT that is based on one that is used at a high school in my school district. The schools in my district develop and modify their own AUPs based on the needs of their specific learning communities. I hope this helps! http://byotnetwork.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/sample-acceptable-use-policy-for-byot.doc
