Rochedale South State School provides a BYODx model of student laptop use. Our goal is to ensure all students have the opportunity to be effective digital learners who are confident, creative and productive in an increasingly digital world. Our vision is to:
Students of Rochedale South State School demonstrate increasing mastery in their ability to learn about, and apply, information and learning technologies to increase the quality of their endeavors in all areas of the curriculum, and in their daily lives through becoming responsible and safe global citizens connected into digital learning communities
“BYOD" stands for Bring Your Own Device. It is a program where students bring their privately owned laptop to school and connect it to the school's network to access the Internet and school resources. BYOD will enable students to seamlessly transition between work at school and home, and will provide greater opportunities for innovative teaching and learning.
The personally owned laptop must meet Rochedale South State School's minimum specifications and have the capability to be connected to the Department of Education and Training's (DET) information and communication (ICT) network for teaching and learning.
Devices should support the:
- Evolving use of ICT for the collaboration and creation of knowledge;
- Extensive ability to share information locally and globally
- Use of online educational environments
- Connection of students with innovative technologies to equip them with knowledge and skills for a digital age
- Engaging of learners through student-centred, project-based learning
- Use of Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning
- Continuity between learning at school and at home
- Development of critical IT skills
- Increasing STEM opportunities
- Empowerment and preparation of students for their futures in the 21st century
