- 7. Our journey to becoming a Bring Your Own Device school
- 8. Brainstorming the benefits of AAL and BYOD
- 9. Sharing our concerns and finding solutions Lost, stolen or damaged devices: - Trust each other - Take responsibility for our device and respect other children’s property - Your device is just for you to use - Have a protective cover for your device Taking photos & videos: - Only take photos of yourself and your work - Use school devices to take photos of other pupils - Ask someone before you take a photo - Be responsible when taking photos and videos to ensure they are appropriate
- 10. What if I don’t have a device?: - ‘So what?’ There are lots of devices and equipment in school that we can use. - If you have one, bring an old device to school to use Responsible use: - Create a contract so children remember how to use the devices responsibly - Never use social media or texting at school Sharing our concerns and finding solutions
- 11. Creating the BYOD Responsible Use Contract
- 12. Sharing our plans with the Parent Council Our action plan was shared and the key questions asked were: - What if someone doesn’t have a device? - What if BYOD becomes a competition to bring in the best/latest device?
- 13. How we acted on those issues Not everyone has a device: - Children can always use the school devices BYOD becoming a competition: - P4 have discussed BYOD in great depth - It’s best to bring in an old or unused device
- 14. Use of devices Devices will: - Only be used in the classroom when instructed by the teacher - Be the responsibility of the pupil both inside and outside of school
- 15. Use of devices - Pupils do not have to bring in a device - Older or unused devices would be perfect - Devices must be connected to the secure, password protected AAL network to access the internet. If the device has 3G or 4G, this should be turned off.
- 16. • Learners exercise choice, including the appropriate use of digital technology, and take increasing responsibility as they become more independent in their learning • Learning is enriched and supported by our effective use of digital technologies.
