B.Y.O.D. Rules and License

Room 19 is a B.Y.O.D. Classroom 

(Bring Your Own Device) 

Adapted from Krista Gates (http://spanishgates.wordpress.com)

 

In our classroom, students will have access to the wireless network using their own technology devices such as cell phone, iPods, iPads, laptops etc. for educational purposes.  Mme Sweeney and Mme Exner believe that proper use of technology in the classroom may increase student engagement, promote collaborative work, facilitate project-based learning, and allow for more personalized learning.   

With direct teacher approval, students may use their own devices in the classroom to access information and to communicate with others.

Room 19’s Rules for B.Y.O.D. 

1) You bring your device to school at your own risk, so please take care of it. Neither Mme Sweeney, Mme Exner, nor Massey School are responsible for your device if it is lost, stolen, or broken. 

2) Mme Sweeney and Mme Exner have the final say.  We will make the final decision on what devices or internet tools are used. 

3) Do not access video games and social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, etc unless you have permission from your teacher.  You are only allowed to access resources that are classroom related.  The school monitors what you access, so make good choices. Failure to do so will result in no access to B.Y.O.D. in our classroom for you. 

4)  Please keep your device away until we allow you to use it.  Do not use your device during instruction time. Turn your ringer off, do not make phone calls, send text messages, or play games. 

5) You may use your device to quietly listen to music during work periods at your teacher's discretion.
