Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy

Purpose

The school implements the "Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)" policy to keep pace with modern learning needs. We aim to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning through information technology, strengthen classroom interaction, and improve students' motivation for learning, self-directed learning (including before, during, and after class), problem-solving, and collaboration skills. We also hope that students will make good use of technology to develop lifelong learning abilities and cultivate the key skills necessary for the 21st century, equipping themselves to meet future societal challenges.

Policy

• Our school has established a comprehensive wireless network with sufficient coverage, and interactive whiteboards are installed in every classroom and special room to effectively promote e-learning.
• With the advancement of mobile technology, the performance of mobile computing devices and e-learning materials continues to improve. The school arranges timely training for teachers to enhance their ability to integrate information technology into teaching.
• To cultivate students' information literacy, the school has developed an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviors for students when using personal devices at school. This serves as a guideline for the use of mobile devices, wireless networks, and information. The school arranges annual training on information literacy to promote students' ability and attitudes towards using information effectively and ethically.
• Starting from P4, each form will have two BYOD classes, with a total of six classes from Primary 4 to Primary 6 using personal tablet devices for lessons. Students will use their personal mobile devices as learning tools, and teachers will effectively utilize e-book functionalities and other multimedia learning resources to monitor students' progress in a timely manner, accelerating the pace of instruction and encouraging continuous learning both inside and outside the classroom to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness.
• The homework for BYOD classes is the same as for other classes, using both paper and digital formats.
• Each lesson will allocate approximately 5-10 minutes for homework guidance.
