As we begin the school year, I find myself slightly frustrated with the implementation of BYOD. We have had a principal change, and are having to step back a little just to make sure everyone is on the same page and has the same expectations. I have also found that we have teachers with a great amount of knowledge and those with no knowledge of how to make this giant step. I am constantly working to answer questions and find new technologies for our teachers to reference. One of my attempts to help our teachers was to take the Google site assignment from EDLD 5366 and add a BYOD page to it. The other tool that I found to aid teachers was Symbaloo. Symbaloo is a site for a Webmix that has buttons to bookmark your favorite sites. I created a Webmix specifically for out district to help our teachers remember the different technologies that we have presented to them.

It also includes some great gadgets such as a calendar and a to do list and Google search. I have found this tool very helpful.
