Digital Technology
Integrating technology into education has become a fundamental aspect of modern learning, ongoing management of learning technologies is a priority in schools.
BYOD – Bring Your Own Device
Bringing technology into the classroom is the best way to provide a 21st century learning environment. Devices 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 allowing for creative thinking, communication, and collaboration.
At Burnside Primary School, BYOD is offered to students in Years 4-6 with optional BYOD for students in Year 3.
Our BYOD program is managed by the school. Burnside Primary School will purchase a Google license for each Chromebook, which enables us to manage any number of devices from a simple cloud-based console, regardless of where it was purchased. This also enables access to Google for Education apps including Google Classroom which provides an efficient, effective and innovative learning system that supports our personalised learning environment.
For more information please see the recommended Burnside PS Device Spec Sheet 2023-24 and FAQ and BYOD Chromebooks Handbook
