Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Information Session

Kedron State High SchoolTraditional Academic Disciplined Diverse

Why BYOD at Kedron?

Computers have been in classrooms for many years and over the past ten years the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) has grown within the classroom. Teachers as life-long learners continue to focus on curriculum and balance their pedagogical skills to best use ICT in an educationally purposeful way.

There used to be federal funding for computers in schools – this funding has not existed for the past few years.

Our ELearning Vision

Our vision is to create a dynamic learning community where the use of ICTs is integral to the learning of every student.

Through authentic engagement and involvement with their learning, we are striving to equip our students with the tools and skills for their future world.

Students access technology at Kedron State High School as responsible users.

Device Specification

Across the year levels from Year 7 to Year 12, students may require devices with differing specifications. The following provides guidelines to what is expected to be the minimum standards for various year levels and subject choices. These specifications have been set with a number of factors in mind:

• The pedagogical requirements of the class

• The age and size of the student

• The subject choices that the student has made

• The ability for devices to connect easily to the school’s infrastructure

Device Specification

With careful choice and appropriate care and maintenance, a student should only need a total of two devices during their time in high school. More frequent purchase is a choice that parents can also make.

There are some choices that should not be made. We would request that devices with the following features be excluded from the BYOD program :

• Existing laptops with an operating system before Windows 10.

• Gaming level machines – very high-specification machines, as these are not required and can pose a temptation to other students.

• Chromebook devices – will not connect to the school Wi-Fi.

• Devices without a keyboard. Devices with keyboards are required for NAPLAN testing from 2019.

Installation and maintenance of personal software is the responsibility of the family.

Genuine versions of software need to be installed to ensure updates.

Some subjects require the use of subject specific software, all of which have different licencing arrangements for private purchase.

Software

Virus Protection

• Student BYOD computers must have up-to-date antivirus protection installed. Computers using the Windows 8 operating system or above come equipped with Windows Defender antivirus protection. This is the minimum level of protection required at school (i.e. for school purposes, computers with Windows Defender do not require additional anti-virus software to be purchased).

• In order to avoid software conflicts and network connection problems, it is recommended to not install anti-virus software until after the student device has been connected to the school network. It is also necessary to remove any existing anti-virus programs from the computer (other than Windows Defender) prior to connection.
