Rationale!

What is a one-to-one program?

One-to-one (1 to 1) learning provides every student and teacher access to his or her own mobile

device in a wireless environment allowing students to learn at their own pace and ability levels. 1 to

1 initiatives have gained momentum worldwide, and are increasingly seen as a key to transforming

education and better preparing students to succeed in a global world.

In a 1 to 1 program, access to a personal mobile device (such as an iPad) and the Internet enables

students to be self-directed and receive highly personalised instruction. Teachers can create

personalised learning opportunities for each child, addressing his or her unique needs. Students use

their personal devices to research, complete homework and academic coursework, access reading

material, manage notes and calendars, solve problems, create multimedia and multimodal texts,

collaborate on team projects and communicate via email. At the same time, they gain valuable 21st

century skills that will be beneficial throughout their lives and careers.

!Educational Opportunities Provided by a one-to-one program

Contemporary learning environments offer flexibility and opportunities for collaboration,

independence and connectivity to global resources. This sort of anytime, anywhere learning in

supported by access to portable technologies.

!

� !!!� !! � !!!

The Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) approach is developed out of the following emerging issues

related to the 1 to 1 program and implications for contemporary learning and teaching in all schools

in Brisbane Catholic Education. !Learning  and  Teaching:  !

• Learners and teachers create contemporary learning environments and quality learning

outcomes as they shape and enrich their own and others’ worlds.

S t C a t h e r i n e ’ s P r i m a r y S c h o o l ! 1 t o 1 P o l i c y & G u i d e l i n e s ! !�i i

• Contemporary learning is personalised and provides anytime, anywhere access for

students to portable technologies.

• Teachers’, students’ and parents’ access to the Australian Curriculum and supporting

professional resources will be delivered online.

• Brisbane Catholic Education provides access to teacher and student online learning and

teaching environments and content. Eg. LIFE - Learning Management System | Live @ Edu -

email | Google Drive - file management.

!This  is  underpinned  by  the  following  assumptions:  !

• The world of students within and beyond the school is connected by the use of

contemporary information processing, communication and collaboration tools.

• Teachers engage in continuous learning to enhance their professional practice and the

practices of their students.

• School and organisation leaders create the conditions that enable the vision to be realised.

• Parents are empowered to become actively involved in their child’s education by accessing

online communication, learning, reporting and monitoring systems.

Planning and resourcing is future-focused and flexibly delivered within the learning context of the

school.

Accountability and improvement are reviewed through the School Cyclical Review process,

particularly in relation to Priorities 2 & 3 in the BCE Strategic Renewal Framework.

Overview of Parent and Student Responsibilities

Students and parents will be responsible for the overall care of the

iPad and management of apps. Parents will have full management

rights to the iPad and will be responsible for ongoing updates

(operating system and apps), including resetting or restoring the iPad

if required. Students will be trained to be competent users and

maintainers of their iPad.

For family-owned iPads, Parents will supply a protective cover. The

school will provide a cover for school-owned iPads on hire . Students 1

will be required to keep the iPad within the protective cover at all

times. In the interest of student safety, iPads are not to be used in a

public place outside the school, such as on a bus journey home. The

iPad is to be treated with due care and stored in trays provided in the

classroom when not in use. The device will be utilised by students

under supervision during learning and teaching opportunities at

school. School staff will implement regular inspections of the device.

Students will be subject to the terms of the Acceptable Use of

Technology Policy if there is any evidence of inappropriate usage.

Should a student’s iPad ever require repair or replacement, the school will provide a replacement

“hot swap” iPad in order to maintain the student’s access to ongoing learning opportunities. Parents

will be required to sign a separate agreement for the loan of a replacement iPad from the school.

Students will be shown various ways to back up their documents and data. All students will be

responsible for the maintenance of regular data backup via the various means recommended by the

school. Students will also be required to regularly delete images and files no longer required. To

maintain optimum performance, at least 10% of the iPad’s memory must remain free.

A list of required apps will be distributed for installation by families. Students will also be able to

integrate the use of a home wireless network, home printers and other peripheral devices at

parents’ discretion. Parents are strongly encouraged to supervise use of iPad at home, particularly

during students’ internet use.

Students must abide by the Information & Communications Technology Resources Student

Agreement (see Section 3). Failure to abide by this agreement could result in disciplinary action.

The iPad will be recharged at home each night ready for the next school day.

School Policy on Information & Communications Technology Resources!

!Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is of critical importance to schools in facilitating

and supporting learning, teaching and other administrative activities for teachers, students, parents

and administrators.

St. Catherine’s Primary School Wishart has established significant

computing and communications resources to support these activities.

These resources include all network services licensed by Brisbane

Catholic Education Centre & St. Catherine’s Primary School Wishart.

St. Catherine’s Primary School Wishart is bound by legislation and

good stewardship of resources to ensure the appropriate use of its

ICTs. Increased legislation relating to ICT is requiring all

organisations to review their internal policies and procedures to

ensure compliance.

ICT resources are supplied in line with the following principles:

• Access to ICT is provided subject to need and availability of

resources;

• Privacy, confidentiality and respect of the personal rights of

others is maintained;

• The importance of the cost-efficient use of ICTs is

recognised;

• Users engage in ethical, legal and responsible use of ICT.

Conditions of Use of ICT Resources

By accessing and using the ICT resources provided by St. Catherine’s

Primary School Wishart, users are agreeing to abide by the Conditions of Use of ICT Resources

statement developed by BCE. This statement inform users of their rights, responsibilities and

obligations when using ICT resources, consistent with Brisbane Catholic Education’s requirements

that all such resources are used in an ethical, legal and responsible manner.

Staff members take all reasonable measures to ensure that students use the school network safely

and responsibly.

“Learning  will  not  take  place  only  inside  schools  and  colleges,  but  in  communities,  workplaces  and  families.  The  shift  to  thinking  about  learning  beyond  the  classroom  requires  a  shift  in  our  thinking  about  the  fundamental  organisational  unit  of  education…from  the  school,  an  institution  where  learning  is  organised,  defined  and  contained…  

…to  the  learner,  an  intelligent  agent  with  the  potential  to  learn  from  any  and  all  of  her  encounters  with  the  world  around  her.”  

Tom  Bentley,  DEMOS

The School is committed to:

a. Providing learning experiences that maximise the benefit of the school network and the

Internet to enrich and enhance classroom practices;

b. Developing in students the relevant competencies to be effective and critical users of

information and the relevant skills to use the Internet and other information communications

technologies safely and responsibly;

c. Minimising the potential for inappropriate use of the network through the installation of

appropriate filtering and monitoring systems; and

d. Teaching students the correct use of equipment and principles of digital citizenship

including online communications etiquette, respecting the privacy of other students’ work,

safe email practices and the need to keep information private.

We provide students with a limited right to access the Internet while at school, during school hours,

in accordance with this agreement, while the student is enrolled at St Catherine’s Primary School.

Purpose of Access

Monitored use of school computers, access to the school network and the Internet is provided to

students for educational and research purposes that are consistent with the school’s curriculum

objectives. Use of the school’s computers, network and Internet access is a privilege.

Security and Privacy

St. Catherine’s Primary School Wishart recommends the use of third party services such as Manga 2

High (numeracy skill development) and Google Drive (cloud storage and document sharing) for

students. St. Catherine’s Primary School Wishart may disclose personal information about an

individual to an external service provider for the limited purpose of storing and managing the

information, for instance, when using public Internet services to create learning and teaching

content.

The school may also disclose personal information to overseas recipients, for instance, when storing

personal information and data with ‘cloud’ service providers, which are situated outside Australia.

Selected services are carefully reviewed against Privacy Principles detailed in the Australian Privacy

Act . A copy of the Due Diligence Checklist is included in Appendix A. External Service Providers 3

into operation in March 2014.!

used at St. Catherine’s Primary School are listed in Appendix B. Other services may be added at any

time at the discretion of the school Principal.

Further information is outlined in Brisbane Catholic Education’s Privacy Policy, which sets out how

each school and the BCE Office (BCEO) manages personal information provided to or collected by it.

Parent/Guardian Responsibilities

The proper use of information communications technology is the joint responsibility of students,

parents/guardians and school staff. Parents and guardians should, therefore, share with the school

the responsibility for setting and conveying standards for acceptable use when using electronic

media and information sources. We recognise the necessity of close co-operation between the home

and school in this area in order to provide the best possible educational opportunities for students.

It is vitally important that the values espoused by the home and by the School are in harmony, and

that parents/guardians support the school in maintaining acceptable standards of use.

It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to ensure that they and their child are aware of and

abide by the policies, care guidelines and responsible use expectations of the school.

Where there is more than one parent/guardian, each parent/guardian accepts full responsibility for

ensuring these policies are adhered to.

Policy Update

This policy will be updated as necessary. All attempts will be made to adhere to the above policy, but

particular circumstances (such as technological advancements) may require the Principal to depart

from the stated policy.

1 to 1 iPad Program - Guidelines for Students and Parents!1. Education Purposes

Students are to use their iPad for educational purposes.

The iPad must be installed with all the required apps for student use. On receipt of the completed

Access Consent Form for ICT Resources (page x), the school will install a wireless certificate to allow

internet access at school.

Non-requisite apps or data should not inhibit the use of the iPad as a learning tool. Non-requisite

apps or data on any students’ iPad should not compromise learning opportunities for any other

student at the school.

The school reserves the right to carry out inspections of iPads at any time.

2. Student Responsibilities

Each student is responsible for keeping their iPad secure.

It is the student’s responsibility to charge their iPad at home each evening. Limited charging

facilities may be available at school. Reliance on these may inhibit learning opportunities for the

student.

While travelling to and from school, iPads are to be carried in the protective cover and placed in

school bags.

Unless directed by the teacher, iPads are not to be used during recess and lunch breaks.

Each student needs to ensure that they keep their passwords private.

A lock-screen passcode must be set to limit access to the student who owns/hires each iPad.

3. Parent Responsibilities

Ensure students fulfil their responsibilities as outlined above.

Supervise or limit student use of the iPad when at home, including Internet use.

Ensure the student has their iPad at school each day in a condition that will enable it to be usable for

any educational purpose.

4. Data Backup and Software Updates

Students are responsible for the backup of all data as recommended by the school.

S t C a t h e r i n e ’ s P r i m a r y S c h o o l ! 1 t o 1 P o l i c y & G u i d e l i n e s ! !�x i i i

Students are responsible to ensure that the operating system and all apps are kept up to date.

5. Technical Support

Students will be taught how to care for and maintain their iPad.

In the event of a malfunction parents may contact Apple or the supplier for assistance. However,

parents are responsible for resetting or restoring the iPad, should this ever be required. If repairs to

family-owned iPads are required, this is also the responsibility of parents. Repairs to school-owned

iPads are covered by a separate iPad Hire Agreement.

iPads are covered by AppleCare Protection for a limited period following purchase. An extension of

this warranty period can be purchased at additional cost through the supplier or through Apple

Computer. During the period of cover under AppleCare Protection, parents may use the designated

support line for Education customers: 1300 968 979.

Parents are encouraged to call this number to seek help for any issues that they are experiencing at

home (such as how to install apps, how to use an Apple app or how to connect to a home wireless

network). Hours of operation for AppleCare Protection for Education phone support are 9am - 9pm

Monday to Friday and 9am - 6pm Saturday.

6. Use of the School Wireless Network and Internet Access

The use of the School Wireless Network and all associated infrastructure is available for educational

use of student iPads.

The Internet is only to be accessed through the School Wireless Network while at school (i.e. no 3G

or cellular network access from student iPads is permitted).

The school wireless certificates are not to be removed or altered as this could affect the iPad’s ability

to connect to the School Wireless Network.

7. Loss, Theft and Damage

If the device is stolen from school during school hours, then the school, in association with Catholic

Schools Network Insurance will organise an insurance claim, provided that the student has met all

their security obligations under this agreement. This claim will not include cover for loss or damage

due to reasons other than theft.

It will be the responsibility of the parent to insure for loss, theft and/or damage outside of school

hours.

If your child’s iPad requires repair or replacement, please notify your child’s teacher in writing to

arrange a “hot swap” iPad to be supplied by the school. S t C a t h e r i n e ’ s P r i m a r y S c h o o l ! 1 t o 1 P o l i c y & G u i d e l i n e s ! !

�x i v

8. Assessment and Homework

Students are encouraged to use their iPad for continuing learning tasks, dependent upon

requirements set by the teachers.

9. Classroom iPad Use

Student iPads are to be brought to school each day. The teachers will manage the use of the iPads in

the classroom, at their sole discretion.

No student is to take out or use an iPad at school at any time without the express permission of a

member of the school teaching staff.
