7. Remember a time when…
Calculators, diaries, atlases, thesauruses, newspapers, dictionaries, compasses, cameras, audio recorders, notebooks, text books, multiplication charts, books, digital video recorders, video players, maps and music players were all separate things?
With an iPad your student will have access to all of these resources with a tap of a screen.

2004- Facebook Founded
2007- iPhones Released
2010- iPads Released
Our current year 6’s were 6 when iPads were released.
iPads have been around for half their lives.
Our current year one’s have never known a world without iPads.

9. The Changing Educational Landscape
It is now possible for a person to have the world’s information in the palm of their hands at any time at any place.
Knowledge retention and recall is not the only thing we value.
Students need to learn how to harness the masses of information out there, evaluate it and apply it in creative and collaborative ways.
Whilst Literacy and Numeracy still form the foundation, other skills need to be developed to prepare students for life in the 21st century, to succeed in the information age.

11. 21st Century Skills
Literature and Research into key 21st Century skills identify 4 Cs that are key for success in the information age.
Creativity
Collaboration
Communication
Critical Thinking

13. Why a 1:1 program?
Give students opportunities to personalise their learning
With 1:1 iPad access students can choose to collaborate, research, plan, create and present their work in a way that suits their learning needs.
Access to an iPad whenever the learning task requires
Allows learning that takes place in school to be easily shared at home

14. Why a 1:1 program? 1:1 is about learning rather than technology
1:1 is not about having a lesson on iPads but rather uses the iPad in everyday learning.
1:1 is about having information and tools at the fingertips of students and teachers whenever the learning task requires it.
Students see the iPad as their personal learning device. They can set it up to suit their learning needs.

15. Why a 1:1 program?
NSW Government 2013 Literature Review ‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in Schools’ found that in schools with BYOD/1:1 programs:
Evidence of improvements in standardised test results, particularly in Literacy and Writing.
Students in these programs had become more self-directed learners, were more engaged and motivated, while teachers were shifting to more student centred practices.

16. Why iPads?
Most students have some iPad/iPod/iPhone expertise from home
Quick to log on
No loading time of a computer
Easier to troubleshoot
Wide range of user friendly applications as well as the Microsoft Suite
Blocks most bugs/viruses from entering the school’s network as well as the students device
More reliable connection to the school network

17. iPads are mobile…
Mobile: ideal for investigating and collecting evidence
Classrooms reflect how people seek, learn and create in the modern world - we need a device to match
Provides easy and regular access to collaborative class spaces. ie- closed blogs and forums.
Doesn't crowd desks

18. The pedagogy behind the program
As we continue to roll out the 1:1 iPad Program in 2017, as a school we are focused on ensuring the technology is used in a meaningful way – not just for the sake of it.

19. Frequently Asked Questions
How Much time will my child be spending on their iPad
at school?
The iPad will not replace pen and paper activities – there is still a need for traditional texts and writing skills today and in the future.
Rather than being used for long periods of time in class the iPads will be used more frequently for shorter amounts of time.
The iPad is a tool to support active learning – students will also learn using a wide range of materials and resources.

20. Frequently Asked Questions
How do we manage screen time at home?
At home we recommend that students use their iPad for no more than one hour a day.
At home iPads should be used in a shared space so use can be
monitored – never in their bedroom.
We recommend charging the iPad in a central spot and then lock them away over night.
Parent can manage use and place restriction on apps and content
by going into settings-general-restrictions.

21. Frequently Asked Questions
How can my child be responsible for looking after an iPad each day?
At CHSS we have assessed procedures to continue to ensure this valuable tool is well looked after. Although incident free in the BYO iPad classes CHSS has carefully revised our current security procedures.
During breaks iPads will be secured in a locked cabinet in the locked classroom. Students are not permitted to take iPads to break.
iPads must come to school in tough protective cases and we strongly recommend insuring them

22. Frequently Asked Questions
BYO- Security, Insurance and Finance…
Please note that the school does not provide insurance coverage for the student-owned devices. While the BYO iPads will be stored securely, parents are encouraged to seek personal insurance. Check with your preferred insurance company (or even the iPad reseller) about your personal insurance at home and, to and from school for your iPad.
Damage in transit…
All iPads will require a protective case when being transported. This will be an additional cost but is well worth the outlay as it is the best form of insurance for iPads and will often protect the device from impacts and accidents. An additional sleeve to place the iPad in cover in is also recommended.
Damage at school…
All devices are monitored by teachers at school and rules are in place to prevent foreseeable problems and damage, however, from time to time, accidents may occur. If any damage to a device is through negligence of the school, the school will cover the cost of repair. If damage is caused by deliberate or careless actions of a student (owner or others), the costs of repair will be passed onto those involved and necessary behaviour consequences may apply. The decision around the responsibility for repair costs is at the discretion of the Principal.

23. Frequently Asked Questions
