Bring your own device. We are fortunate at Talbot Trail to have a vast amount of technology provided for us. Unfortunately, there is not a device for every student every day. Luckily, for us we have the "bring your own device" policy at our school. This allows students to bring their own iPod, iPad, laptop, or smart phone to use for education purposes under the supervision of their teacher, following our acceptable use policy.
In 7M this would be your students most valuable resource. I try my best to limit the use of paper in my classroom as much as possible. We will have online notebooks, using Evernote, using many apps, cameras and video for lessons, as well as be accessing this blog many times a day.
Student devices will have their own cupboard when they are not in use. Students are responsible for the care and handling of their own device. Students shouldn't be taking the device on the playground, in the hallways (the exception being under teacher request) or in bathrooms.
Please consider allowing your child to bring their device to help assist them in their daily educational activities.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at the school.
Thanks, Mr. M
