We invite the school community to complete the 1:1 Program Survey to help Epping Secondary College with implementation.
Epping Secondary College is currently investigating a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) 1:1. We believe that giving students immediate access to technology in a one-to-one program will help engage them in the learning process in new and creative ways. This is an exciting opportunity for our students who will become increasingly skilled at using technology to access and present information, to problem solve and to work collaboratively.
In 2016, we intend to start the program for several year levels. Completing this survey will help us to build a complete picture of what the school community would like, and to help us highlight any issues associated with such a program.
Survey can be found at: http://goo.gl/forms/pw8rNxW4Ls
What does this mean?
This means that every student will have access to a device in every classroom, all of the time. It will allow students to become increasingly skilled at using technology to access and present information, to problem solve and to work collaboratively. As well as becoming competent in what is becoming known as the “4th literacy of the 21st century”.
Why can’t the school provide my student with a laptop?
Due to changes in government spending, reduction in resources available for the school to purchase IT equipment, a growing demand for updated systems and ongoing maintenance as the school increases in size have made this an impossible task.
