Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
In Gwinnett County Public Schools, more and more instructional activities can be
enhanced when students bring their own personal devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) to class. As you consider the value of this experience and the
opportunity for your child to use a personal device at school, here are some
things to know:
- GCPS encourages students to take advantage of the school system’s BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy, but participation is not required.
- Students should bring devices that they are comfortable using.
- With the variety of activities for which students might use a device in class, no single device is likely to do it all.
- Some devices are better suited to various instructional activities than others. You may want to look at options and limitations based on what your child’s class is doing.
- A tablet is a good choice for elementary students and is great for online research, viewing videos, taking notes using apps, and even taking photos and making videos if it has a camera.
- A Chromebook could be a good option for upper elementary and middle schoolstudents. It is designed to be used with an Internet connection. Most of Chromebook’s documents and apps exist in the cloud. For instance, students can use Google drive to produce papers and presentations, access Google and Chrome web apps, and more.
- And many middle and high school students appreciate a laptop as it allows them to access software they use to complete assignments, as well as the Internet and other applications.
