Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

In 2016, Pleasant Heights Public School will continue the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program in all primary classes. This is following the successful trial and implementation of BYOD with 4S last year. 

This will commence in Term 1, with 5P using BYO devices from week 4.  Classes 2/3S, 3C, 4O, 4/5S and 6R will begin the BYOD program in Week 5 of Term 1.

Students will be asked to bring an iPad to school each day. The potential for this device is that it can be integrated into the classroom to meet the learning outcomes of any lesson and become an everyday functional and communicative educational tool. The iPad has an instantaneous start-up and is ready to use immediately, a long battery life, and is easily portable. 

In a classroom setting, there is essentially unlimited access to information, multimedia and learning activities. The iPad as a teaching resource, like all information technology, will ensure that students' learning can be taken into the future.
