BYOD Explained
At Amity we are dedicated to a learning environment that gives pupils access to appropriate technology that enhances learning, unlocks potential and connects learners locally and globally. We acknowledge the importance and benefits of integrating digital technologies into the classroom and believe that implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programme will enable us to provide an even richer learning experience for our pupils, ensuring that they develop the knowledge and skills that they will need to meet the challenges of an ever changing future.
The BYOD agreement has been designed to ensure that all members of the school community are given the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to thrive, as we move further into the digital age. Pupil-centered learning is a key value of our curriculum and the use of BYOD supports this philosophy by giving pupils more opportunities to take responsibility for their own learning and to access learning whenever and wherever they wish.
How does it support learning?
Pupils have been born in a time when the ubiquity of digital technologies is becoming a reality. For them, technology is part of the environment, not just a resource as it was for their parents.
Our aim is for pupils to get the best out technology and use it as a tool to support and enhances their learning. We aim to embed the use of digital technologies into the school curriculum, where it is appropriate and beneficial to teaching and learning.
Digital Technologies will enable us to:
• Deliver creative, engaging and innovative learning experiences which meet the needs pupils.
• Nurture creativity, curiosity and innovation, communication and collaboration.
• Encourage pupils to be inquisitive learners.
• Facilitate access to learning when and where it is.
• Individualise teaching and support.
• Promote critical thinking, problem solving and decision making.
• Communicate and share learning and achievements with parents and the community.
• Create informed local and global citizens who are socially and personally responsible, and future-ready.
