Please ensure that your student device has the following items to comply
with our BYOD AUP and Student Agreement;
·
Current iOS software version 9.3.2 or latest Windows 8 or Windows 10
software version (Windows 10 is free to update until 30 June 2016) –older
versions may see apps unable to function correctly.
·
device covers and/or device sleeves - a cover and a sleeve/case are
required to protect the safety of the devices when travelling around the school
and in the transportation of devices to and from school (see BYOD Acceptable
Use Policy for details)
·
all apps on the 2016 required list
– it is a requirement of the BYOD Program that all apps are loaded onto
devices. Teachers prepare lessons with the intent of using particular apps and
when these are not available on a device it interrupts the flow of the lesson
and learning for the students. (Apps list is available on the school website)
·
devices labelled – devices are required to have a label on the device
cover and sleeve/case. A recent audit found a great deal of devices without any
form of identification.
·
Have at least 2GB of storage space available for school work and so the
iPad can process updates.
We ask that parents please ensure these matters are attended to enabling
the smooth operations of our BYOD classes. Thank you to all those parents who
have been vigilant in complying with the requirements of the program.
If you have questions about the program, please contact Tracy Hume,
eLearning Coordinator, at the school on 3725 5777 or at thume3@eq.edu.au
