1:1 Student Owned DevicesLooking ahead to 2012 and beyond

EGGS Online – E-learning at EGGS

Our BYOD Policy

• We invite all students at any level to bring their personal devices to school to integrate their learning both inside and outside of school. Those devices might be a netbook, a laptop, a tablet or a smart phone – any internet capable device can assist learning.

What this means for teachers:

• Encouraging students to use their devices as much as possible

• Greater expectation to provide online learning environments (i.e. using Moodle)

• Encouraging students to have mobile phones “out and on” rather than “off and in their bag” ( for the purpose of learning only!)

• A willingness to let students trial different strategies and online resources

• Differentiating for mode
