9 Frequently Asked QuesGons Use of the Device at School. Will my child use their device all the Gme? No. These technologies are tools for learning that will be used along with all the other tools available at school and home (e.g. pen, paper, calculators, books, computers etc). Will children in Junior School use their ipads before school or during breaks? When students arrive at school, they put their ipad in the classroom. ipads will be leo in the classroom during breaks.

In this case, the teacher- in- charge will manage the children while they collect, use and return their ipads.) How will the device be stored at school? In the Junior school, students will store their ipad in the classroom. Middle School students will have lockers to store of their Laptops when not in use. Do you have advice about online safety? MBBC will provide informaoons nights open to parents to provide them more support on a range of topics for the use of technology and their child's learning. What are my child s responsibiliges with respect to using their own device at school? Each student and parent will be asked to sign a responsible user guide (RUG) which will outline the responsibilioes of using the device at home and at school. This agreement will include but is not limited to 1. I will use my device ONLY during assigned class Omes.

10 Why have we chosen ipads as the device in Junior School? MBBC has selected ipads for students in Junior School for these reasons: BaUery life: ipads have excellent bauery life and should last all day without charging; Portability: ipads are light and compact and will fit easily in student backpacks without adding significant weight or bulk; Apps: itunes offers thousands of apps for students in the educaoon category and most are free; Availability: ipads are readily available, they can be easily repaired locally and many of our students already have one at home; ProducOvity: ipads will allow students to communicate, collaborate, research, write, publish, make movies, draw, read and pracoce their math skills. Why have we chosen to use a Laptop in the Middle School? When students begin Middle School, the amount of wriong, typing and Internet research they need to do rises dramaocally. While ipads can do most things students will need to do in Middle School, a laptop will be more conducive to typing, accessing flash- based sites for math and analyzing and graphing data in science. What if my child forgets to bring their ipad to school, or the bazery runs flat? The Student Responsible Use Guide (RUG) states that it is the student s responsibility to remember their device, and also have it fully charged when they bring it to school. Most 1:1 schools have found this is not a significant problem, however teachers will have an alternate acovity using pen and paper. There will not be any charging staoons available for students. The ipad bauery is designed to provide over 10 hours of cononual use for the ipad and the laptop minimum requirement is to be able to hold charge for 8 hours. Use of the Device at home Should I know my child s password? Yes. It s important that you have execuove control of the device, even if it is a gio or your child used their own money to pay for it.

11 Should I be concerned about overuse of technology? All things, no mauer how good, can be used excessively and this may lead to problems: food (obesity), exercise (exhausoon or injury), reading (eye strain) and technology. In all things, therefore, moderaoon in use is important and mobile technology is no different.
