We are soft starting our optional BYOD programme currently. This was information regarding it that we put in our newsletter outlining the programme, the rationale for it, key points for parents and a note about cybersafety. Prior to this we have had a number of girls bring laptops, ipads etc and they have been using them in some classes as appropriate. Next year when the WiFi access to UFB becomes a reality we expect large numbers of students to be bringing devices.

Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing. makes a good read. i (and probally others) would be interested to hear what sort of response from the girls and parents.
Cheers, Daniel
Thanks for this, I like hte comment "The school cannot monitor student’s own 3G mobile internet usage on personal devices." I think I might have to add that to our notes. Do you mind if I add it to Other School's BYOD resources?
Certainly post it elsewhere. The more we share as an educational community the better.
