Bring IT
Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s):
We are continuing to build 21st century classroom environments by fostering the skills needed to learn for today and the future. We aim to broaden students’ access to technology by inviting and encouraging students to Bring I.T. This means students are welcome to bring in their personal technology (e.g. laptops, netbooks, smartphones, iPads, iPods, eReaders, etc.) to use during class time for instructional purposes.
As a class we will co-develop norms to facilitate the effective, safe and respectful use of technology. The Halton Acceptable Use Procedure for Information and Communication Technology is available at http://www.hdsb.ca.
The use of electronic devices will be at the discretion of each teacher during class time only. Students assume all responsibility for the security of their own devices at all times, including breaks. The Halton District School Board and staff are not responsible for the loss, damage or theft of any personal equipment brought to school and we encourage users to label or engrave all devices.
The use of student owned technology is completely optional and not required. All students will continue to have access to our computer lab as well as other technology in the school. Students will be encouraged to share devices while conducting research and projects in small groups.
Students will have access to the Halton wireless network, which will permit them to use the Internet. Students will also be able to print from their personal devices through http://student.myhdsb.ca, as well as access online documents through their Halton Google Apps for Education account cloud.hdsb.ca .
All students will benefit from greater access to board-owned equipment by allowing students to bring their own computers from home.
Sincerely,
Mister Alexander
