1. Forward This handbook has been developed as a guide for parents/guardians/carers and students about matters relating to the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program at Sarina State High School. Each family should thoroughly understand the content and follow all procedures.

2. Introduction

Sarina State High School’s commitment to digital learning has not changed from that of previous years. Our school values the importance of being digitally connected with our community and that we offer our students the best possible learning experiences with digital devices.

With the concept of the BYOD program at Sarina State High School in 2020, we plan to impact student academic improvement, engagement and attitude to learning as well as afford our students opportunities to further develop 21st century learning skills.

After extensive research and consultation, the school staff see great benefits of increased individual access to an iPad in the junior grades, as having the potential of greater student engagement, creativity and learning outcomes. In 2020, the Bring Your Own (BYO) iPad program is offered to all students in Year 7, 8 and 9.

3. Cost to Families

There will be a cost of $50 for your Bring Your Own Device. The following table outlines what is included for this cost:

Papercut and printing services including printing credit per term.

School technician support (connecting to the Wi-Fi service, installation of school licensed software, troubleshooting support).

Software access and maintenance of licensing for BYO devices:

· Clickview online (24/7 access to resource library of educational videos through any approved BYO device)

· Microsoft Office Suite 2013 (word, excel, powerpoint, publisher) · Microsoft Office (24/7 access to school email from any approved BYO

device)

4. Software and Applications

Installation and maintenance of personal software and applications are the responsibility of the family. Genuine versions of software need to be installed to ensure updates. Students will need to have the latest operating system iOS installed. Updates should be completed at home and a full backup of your iPad is encouraged beforehand to avoid possible loss of data. For information on how to backup and install the latest operating system, please see the ‘How To’ documents listed on the Sarina State High School website.

Students will need to download Microsoft Word, OneNote and PowerPoint from the app store. Any additional apps needed for 2020 will be advised upon enrolment. Most apps will be downloaded at school using the school software and wi-fi.

5. Microsoft Office All state school students from Prep to Year 12 can now download multiple free copies of the Microsoft Office 2016 Suite to their personal device.

Students who want the free software will need an active Managed Internet Service (MIS) login, school email account and password — those who don‘t have these should contact their school’s MIS Administrator or class teacher. The administrator will help students activate their MIS login.

Currently, MS Office Suite 2016 is available for students’ personal equipment only — not equipment which is part of a school network.

6. Charging of Devices

Students will be expected to bring a fully charged iPad to school each day. The power supply will not be required to be brought to school. Leaving power supplies at home reduces the weight of the equipment student’s transport to and from school and reduces the likelihood of damage and/or loss.

7. School Wi-Fi and Mobile 3/4G Approved Apple iPad devices that meet the outlined specifications will recognise the schools Wi-Fi and students will be able to connect. Standard EQ internet security filters will screen usage and access. Students must agree to follow the ICT Responsible Use Policy in relation to internet use.

3G and 4G compatible iPad devices are suitable for purchase and use, however, the school strongly suggests that the SIM card is removed or the 3/4G ability is disabled whilst at school as this function when activated allows students to bypass the EQ internet security filters. Sarina State High School will take no responsibility

for the content accessed by students using 3/4G facility on their personally owned devices. Any connection which is not through the Managed Internet Service contravenes school policy and consequences will be enforced.

The iPads can be configured to connect to a home wireless or wired network. This configuration can be performed as with a normal iPad.

8. Apple ID Parents will be required to provide a separate Apple ID for each student as the legal age for setting up an Apple ID account is 13 years or over. Students are encouraged to use their school email address (e.g. jdoe2@eq.edu.au).

9. Mobile Device Management (MDM) Students will be required to enrol their devices into the school’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) system at the beginning of the school year.

Enrolling into the MDM system will enable the school to provide school purchased apps for students and enable the school to reset a user’s forgotten password. MDM also provides a simple way to enable user access to school services while ensuring devices are properly configured.

10. Printing

Students will be able to connect their approved BYO Apple iPad device via their web browser to access printers. Students receive $5 printing credit each term. Additional credit can be purchased by the student from the school office if required.

11. Repairs and Maintenance All maintenance for the IT device, operating system, software and/or apps purchased by the family are the responsibility of the family. Families should ensure quick maintenance turnaround for student devices.

12. School Technical Support If you run into a problem, we advise students to see the schools IT Technician who will attempt to diagnose the fault. If this is not able to be resolved by the schools IT Technician, they can recommend a course of action for repair (e.g. warranty claim, insurance claim etc.)

13. ICT Access Policy & BYOx Responsible

15. Student Learning Expectations for iPads All students using iPads to support their learning at Sarina State High School are required to comply with the following expectations regarding their use. Students not meeting these expectations will be dealt with according to Sarina State High School’s Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students.

During Lessons

Your iPad is a teaching and learning tool. To make the most of learning time the following routines for the use of your device have been developed.

• Wait to use your iPad or open Apps until your teacher instructs you to do so. • Communicating with other students, using your device, during learning time is not permitted unless under direct instruction from your teacher. • Projecting your own device onto a teachers’ laptop or projector through AirServer or AppleTV may only occur after direct teacher instruction to do so. • Your device cannot be used during exams unless you are otherwise instructed. • Students are not permitted to take a photo of any assessment task sheet or exam without approval. • Ensure at least 1Gb of storage capacity is available at all times for use in learning activities. Communicating with others Your iPad will be an invaluable tool for connecting you to vital information within and beyond the school. Again, there are some routines and procedures required to ensure the most appropriate use of the device in an educational setting.

• Remember respectful communication conventions should be used at all times, either on the iPad or when using other communication methods. • Students have been supplied with an EQ email address. This must be the only email used between students, teachers and other students when communicating or transferring document. • Email or other forms of communication, including through Bluetooth (e.g. Airdrop), may only be used

during class time when directly instructed by a teacher. Use in and around the school

As learners we must ensure we are ready and prepared to learn. This includes ensuring our ICT equipment is functional and in good working order.

• While at school, iPads should be used for educational purposes. This includes the use of camera and video devices. The use of these devices is only permitted under teacher direction.

• Ensure your devices are fully charged before school and have enough battery life for all class periods to complete required work. • iPads should be stored in school bags when moving between classes or around the school. • To avoid damage, food and drinks should be kept away from ICT equipment. • Your device is for your use only. Do not share it with others. • Regularly check that all ICT equipment, including USBs and home devices are tested for viruses and other threats.

Cybersafety and Security

The safety of our students when working in an online environment is a high priority.

• Ensure your cybersafety by keeping your personal details, including username, password, address or phone number private. • Your account details need to be kept private. It is not appropriate to share these details with another

student for their use. • In line with cybersafety guidelines ensure you do not store, send or upload photos of yourself, other

students, teachers or visitors to the school under any circumstances. • Social media (eg. Facebook, AskFM, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat etc) are not to be accessed during

class time • All activities on the school network, including internet history, may be stored accessed and monitored

by authorised EQ staff to determine your compliance with this agreement. • Hacking or attempting to hack the network and other accounts or bypassing network security or

filtering are seriously inappropriate uses of ICT equipment and will incur consequences. • Downloads of large files, videos or images through the school network will affect the use of the network

for others. Internet download limits may be put in place by the school. • The publishing of inappropriate or abusive material about staff, students or the school in any public

or school domain including the internet is a breach of the school’s behaviour plan for students. • The viewing, scanning, storing, transmitting, forwarding, printing, playing etc. of inappropriate images,

video, audio or email is strictly prohibited. This applies to anything that could cause offence to others and anything that is disruptive to an activity.

16. Security and Insurance While the BYO iPads will be stored in classrooms during break times, lockers are available for hire at

a cost of $5 per term. Parents/guardians/carers are encouraged to seek personal insurance. Check with your preferred insurance company (or your iPad seller) about personal insurance at home and, to and from school, for your iPad.

17. Damage in Transit All iPads will require a protective sleeve or case when being transported. This will be an additional cost but is well worth the outlay as it is the best form of insurance for iPads and will often protect the device from impacts and accidents, especially when these sleeve type cases are also inside a school bag.

18. Damage at School Teachers at school will monitor all devices and rules are in place to prevent foreseeable problems and damage, however, from time to time, accidents may occur.

If damage is caused by deliberate or careless actions of a student (owner or others), the costs of repair will be passed onto those involved and necessary behaviour consequences may apply. The decision around the responsibility for repair costs is at the discretion of Sarina State High School. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their iPad into each class and NOT leave them in their school bags.

19. General Care Students are responsible for the general care of the iPad.

General Precautions

• It is recommended that food or drink should not be next to the iPad when in use.

• Cords, cables, and removable storage must be inserted into, and removed from the iPad carefully.

• The iPad should never be left in an unsupervised area. • Students are responsible for ensuring the battery is charged for each school

day. Transporting the iPad

The guidelines below should be followed when transporting the iPad:

• The iPad should always be within a protective case when carried. • Some carrying cases can hold other objects such as clipboards and exercise books

but these must be kept to a minimum to avoid placing too much pressure and weight on the iPad screen.

Screen Care

The screen can be damaged if subjected to rough treatment. They are particularly susceptible to damage from excessive pressure and be costly to repair. Please follow the guidelines below:

• Do not lean on the top of the iPad. • Do not place anything near the iPad that could put pressure on the screen. • Do not place anything in the carry case that will press against the cover. • Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth or anti-static cloth.

Damage/Repair of iPad screen is the responsibility of the owner

(student/parent/guardian/carer) unless is has been caused by deliberate or careless

actions of another student. These costs will then be passed on.

Battery Maintenance To get the most out of the battery life of iPads, follow these simple tips:

• Reduce the screen brightness to a comfortable level. • Disable connectivity such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use.

How can I tell what model iPad I have? To tell what model iPad you have, you can check on the back of the iPad for the VERSION number. There will be an A followed by 4 numbers. EG A1822 (see previous page).

What if I already own a laptop? Students will not be able to bring a laptop. The school's best advice to ensure that effective learning occurs is that the iPad meets the listed minimum device specifications.

What if my family cannot afford to purchase an iPad or I do not own an iPad?

A limited number of iPads/tablets will be available for hire if you are experiencing financial difficulty. Please contact the school for further information.

What if I've bought an Android tablet?

Students will be unable to bring their own Android device as they will have limited functionality on the school network.

What if I've bought a Chromebook?

Education Queensland schools do not support Google products. Chromebooks will not operate on the school network. The school's best advice to ensure that effective learning occurs is that the device meets the listed minimum device specifications.

Will my child be disadvantaged if I only get a device with minimum specs?

A device that meets the school’s best advice for minimum specifications will allow students to perform the learning activities and tasks set at Sarina State High School.

Will my child be advantaged if I only get a device with better than the minimum specs?

A device that meets the school’s best advice for minimum specifications will allow students to perform the learning activities and tasks. While there is no school based advantage to exceeding the stated minimum specifications for the device, the student may be able to utilise the higher performance for home based interests and activities.

Will the school be acting as an agent to purchase devices in bulk?

Under Queensland Government law, it is not possible for the school to purchase and on-sell or lease devices to families.

Question and Answer What are the approximate costs of devices that meet minimum specifications?

This information will be available from local and national vendors. We expect that vendors will provide a range of device quality and price options for families to consider. It is important to include protection case and insurance costs when considering the overall price. These add-ons will be available from many of the vendors at time of purchase.

From an educational viewpoint, is one device (laptop or tablet) preferred over the other?

The success of a BYOD program rests in the quality of the educational use of the device rather than the specific device itself. The school’s preference is for a device that meets the minimum specifications. It is likely that the student’s preference for a particular device is of more importance in the family’s device selection process.

Will all junior students be required to supply their own iPad?

Sarina State High School is a BYOD school for all year levels. Junior students in year 7, 8, and 9 are required to bring an iPad and senior students in 10, 11 and 12 are required to bring a laptop.

The school’s advice lies in the minimum specification list. Families should consider the student’s lifestyle, interests, capabilities and levels of responsibility as they make their device choice.

What if I refuse to participate? Modern education systems are significantly supported by the use of laptops and mobile electronic devices. Students who refuse to participate will experience significant inefficiencies in their learning but will be required to complete alternate learning tasks appropriate to their learning needs. In extreme cases where this lack of participation means that learning tasks are not being attended to, students may be disciplined for their failure to engage in the program of instruction.

Can I install Microsoft Office on my iPad?

Education Queensland and Sarina State High School will provide access at no cost on student owned devices to Microsoft Office.

Who determines what content is allowed on a device?

Devices that are used at school may only contain material that complies with content standards that are age appropriate in accordance with the federal government censorship guidelines. The school reserves the right to determine what content is appropriate at the school.

Will students be required to carry their iPads all day?

The school’s best advice for device safety is for students to keep their device with them at all times. While this is not possible in all circumstances, the school has implemented a number of options for students to utilize to ensure safe-keeping of their device. Each faculty will have an advertised policy for the safe keeping of devices. This may include bringing the devices into classrooms, storing devices in school bags or similar in a pre-determined and secure location. The Tech Room is available as a storage location during morning tea and lunch breaks and the school has padlock secured lockers in locations behind the Tech Room. The laptop lockers will be individually allocated to students at the cost of $5 per term. Students must supply their own padlock.

Question and Answer What security will we need in place on the laptop to access the school network?

Network and device security is paramount to all at Sarina State High School.

What do we do if the device needs warranty or damage repairs?

Parents/guardians/carers are responsible for the repair of student devices.

Will the school technicians help with identifying problems on BYO devices?

To ensure device warranty compliance, the Sarina State High School IT Technicians may only provide advice on, or service to, school owned devices or school endorsed devices.

How is the school going to prevent financial discrimination?

All students in years 7, 8 and 9 will be required to supply their own iPad for learning at Sarina State High School. In 2020, all students in years 10, 11 and 12 will be required to supply their own computer for learning. In individual cases of financial hardship, families should engage in a direct conversation with the school Principal to explore avenues for support.

What happens if another student damages my iPad?

The owner or custodian of a device will always have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to ensure its safe storage and proper management. Students will be disciplined for their behavioural actions where evidence supports a finding of negligent or wilful action which results in damage to a device within the school. Such discipline will be under the provisions of Sarina State High School’s Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students and the cost of damages/repairs will be passed on.

Question and Answer Who is responsible for the iPad if damaged at school?

The student is always responsible for the safe-keeping and responsible use of their own device. The school’s best advice for device safety is for students to keep their device with them at all times or in an advertised, sanctioned, safe keeping place.

The school does not provide insurance for student devices. The school encourages parents/guardians/carers to liaise with an insurance agent to ensure that the device is insured in its own right or specifically covered within an existing insurance policy whilst being used at school and/or other locations. Insurance coverage is available as an add-on for school endorsed devices purchased through the online portal. Insurance claims can be lodged from home or via the Sarina State High School IT Technicians at school.

Can the school install apps on my iPad?

Yes. Students will be required to enrol their devices into the school Mobile Device Management System at the beginning of the year. This will enable the school to provide some apps for the students while ensuring the device is properly configured.

What do I do if I don’t know anything about iPads?

Don’t worry. All students will participate in an iPad course at the beginning of the year. They will be shown how to email, print and connect to the schools network. They will also enrol in an MDM which helps to install any apps that will be required.

Who can I talk to about any questions I have about my child’s iPad?

• Parents/Guardians/Carers need to be aware that damage to mobile devices owned by other students or staff may result in significant consequences in relation to breaches of expectations and guidelines in the School’s Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students

The school will educate students on cyber bullying, safe internet and email practices and health and safety regarding the physical use of electronic devices. Students have a responsibility to incorporate these safe practices in their daily behaviour at school.

The school’s BYOx program supports personally-owned devices in terms of access to printing, internet, file access and storage, and support to connect devices to the school network. However, Sarina State High School expects ALL BYOx devices to meet minimum specifications before connecting to the network according to the BYOx Booklet. The school does not support personally-owned mobile devices in regard to:

• technical support • charging of devices at school • security, integrity, insurance and maintenance • private network accounts
