Kuluin Digital Learning Hub
Bring Your Own Device
Welcome
Many Sunshine Coast schools and Australian schools have already undertaken this and are experiencing great success and we wish to also offer these great learning opportunities for our students at Kuluin. We are extremely excited to be welcoming you to BYOD and cannot wait to show you and your child the endless possibilities of learning digitally.
Why BYOD?
Children are online at a younger age more than ever before. People under 18 account for an estimated one in three Internet users globally. More than 40% of young people get a social media account by the time they're 12 years old.
Globally, 92% of future jobs will need digital skills and 45% of jobs will require workers who can configure and work confidently with digital systems and technology.
These conditions have created a desire to help students develop a healthy, responsible relationship with technology.
Access to digital skills is no longer perceived as a plus; it is now seen as a right for every student.
From the latest Google for Education Report "Future of the Classroom":
- A third of Australian parents think innovations in education technology will give children new opportunities to engage with learning.
- 42% of Australians maintain that the current curriculum is inadequate and
- 30% are not confident that children are being prepared for future jobs.
BYOD at Kuluin
We have chosen to support the implementation of a BYOD model because:
· BYOD recognises the demand for seamless movement between school, work, home and play.
· Kuluin’s BYOD program will assist students to improve their learning outcomes in a contemporary educational setting by enabling teachers to optimize their practice to provide more choices for students’ individual learning and thinking skills.
· It will assist students to become responsible digital citizens enhancing the teaching-learning process by providing them with the skills and experiences that will prepare them for their future studies and careers..
Our students need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT (Information Communication Technologies) work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities. At Kuluin State School, we look forward to providing that opportunity for your child.
What did you do at school today?
Students who have their own device will be able to access all their lessons at home via QLearn, OneNote or Microsoft Teams Classrooms. This is a great way for parents to see and discuss what the students are learning each day.
Let's hear from the experts...
In this issue we will hear from Professor Stephen Heppell, Digital Education Leader and Learning Futurist. Professor Stephen Heppell is one of the most influential academics in the field of technology and education globally.
