BYOD iPad Program

Classrooms in years 5 and 6 operate a BYOD iPad Program.  We are excited about this program and see technology as far more than a tool for word processing and gathering information.  Whilst computer skills and competencies are important, it is essential that we provide our students with 21st Century skills that enable them to communicate share and use information to solve complex problems.  We must create innovative learners who are able to adapt their ways of thinking and expand their methods for productivity.  The iPad provides access to a range of applications that will support students in processing information and building understandings of content and concepts.  It additionally offers the students the ability to design, create, share and solve problems.
Please refer to the TECHNOLOGY/BYOD page of this website (found under the KEY INFORMATION tab) for further information regarding specifications and a link to the JB Hi-Fi Purchase Portal
