BYOD

It stands for bringing your own device, meaning students bring their digital laptop device to school for learning purposes. This program is for Years 4-6.

We plan to enhance our students’ learning experience by integrating technology. To support this initiative, we are requesting that students have access to a Windows 11 operating laptop as our preferred device

Why a Windows Laptop?

Compatibility: Windows laptops are compatible with the software and applications used in our curriculum, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
Versatility: These devices support a wide range of educational tools and resources, from creative designing, and online reading to collaborative projects.
Durability: Windows laptops are known for their robust build quality, which is essential for students' daily use.

Recommended Specifications:

Windows 11
Microsoft 365
HD Camera
Microphone in-built with speakers
Intel i5
Warranty and Protective Cover
Touch is beneficial but not essential
Battery Life 8 hours under normal use

BYOD is a model of technology that has some advantages for primary schools, such as:

BYOD can foster student ownership and responsibility for their learning, as students can personalize and manage their devices.
BYOD can also encourage students to develop digital skills and citizenship, as they learn how to use their devices safely, ethically, and effectively.
BYOD can support differentiated and individualised learning, as students can access a range of online resources, applications, and tools that match their learning goals, styles, and interests.
BYOD can enhance collaboration and communication among students, teachers, and parents, as they can use their devices to share information, ideas, and feedback.
