Craigieburn Primary Schools offers students the opportunity to bring their personal laptop to school to complement their learning. The BYOD program is for students in years 3 – 6.
A BYOD program refers to a model of technology use where students bring a personally owned netbook to school for the purpose of learning. BYOD stands for ‘Bring Your Own Device’.
The BYOD Program intends to enhance the way students learn and aims to assist in the development of the 21st Century Learning skills.
The reality is that web-based tools and resources have changed the landscape of learning. Students now have at their fingertips unlimited access to digital content, resources, experts, databases and communities of interest. By effectively leveraging such resource, school authorities not only have the opportunity to deepen student learning, but they can also develop literacy, fluency and citizenship in students that will prepare them for the high-tech world in which they will live, learn and work.’ (Alberta Education, 2012)
Laptops can be purchased at JB.HI.FI
