Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program at Rose Park Primary School – Years 3 to 6
Rose Park Primary School students in all year levels are exposed to a variety of digital and online learning opportunities in teaching and learning. Students access information, create and present their learning in multimodal ways in order to ask questions, discuss, reason, clarify and ultimately formulate their own opinions about local and global issues. They are able to communicate, work and share ideas with other schools, libraries, universities and community groups from other states, countries and cultures.
Bringing technology into the classroom has been shown to be a successful way to provide a 21st century learning environment, while Chromebooks are increasingly being incorporated into schools because they boost students’ capabilities of learning anytime, and anywhere. Online access in classrooms significantly broadens the scope of the learning experience, creative thinking, communication, and collaboration.
For more information about the RPPS BYOD program for students in Years 3 to 6, or Chromebooks in general, please see our Digital Devices Policy.
