BYO iPad Program
The BYO iPad Program Overview The focus of the iPad program at Canadian School is to
provide tools and resources to the 21st century learner. Excellence in education requires
that technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the educational program. The individual
use of iPads is a way to empower students to maximize their full potential and to prepare
them for the future. Learning results from continuous dynamic interaction among students,
educators, parents and the extended community. Technology immersion does not diminish
the vital role of the teacher. To the contrary, it transforms the teacher from a director of
learning to a facilitator of learning. Effective teaching and learning with iPads integrates
technology into the curriculum anytime, anyplace.
Students are welcome to bring their personal electronic devices to school as part of a Bring
Your Own iPad (BYO iPad) or Personally Owned Devices (POD) framework. They should
understand how a device works and how its use supports their learning. Canadian School
users can access the Learner Accessible Wireless Network (LAWN) with wireless enabled
devices that use an Internet browser for connectivity. All devices are subject to approval by
the school and teacher. Students must use their device appropriately and comply with the
Canadian School Responsible Use of Electronic Resources Policy Ultimately, the teacher is
the manager of the learning environment and will decide whether the device is being used
appropriately.
A Guide for Schools, Alberta Education, 2012
1. The means for students to pursue lines of inquiry and interest in the academic disciplines
and beyond.
2. The opportunity for learners to collaborate with teachers and peers and to express
themselves and their ideas most effectively.
3. A vehicle for personalizing learning in ways that ensure each student is fully engaged in
learning and is successful in attaining established learning standards.
4. Opportunities for student choice in the use of multimedia to explore, research, think,
synthesize, analyze, evaluate, communicate and express ideas in high quality products.
5. A platform and forum for students’ voices.
6. Access to digital content and digital learning environments that provide multiple pathways
to learning.
7. Connections locally and globally that add authenticity to school work. This enables students
to learn while pursuing real-world issues and topics of deep interest to them, both individually
and collectively, within their communities of interest and beyond.
8. Platforms from which to learn about and attain high standards in digital citizenship.
9. Opportunities for students to construct ideas, opinions, arguments and evidence-based
reasoning collaboratively.
IPad Minimum Requirements
IPAD AIR 2 WI-FI 64GB
(We strongly recommend to buy a rugged use case for iPad like: Griffin
Survivor Slim for iPad Air 2 Black)
The iPad must be designated for the child learning process only, sharing the
iPad with one or more family members will not fulfill the purpose of the
device.
Application Downloads/ Software





An initial, basic list of applications (Apps) will be downloaded (synced) at school. In
addition to scheduled days, the Canadian School IT Department may collect iPads
on random sync days without prior notice to students.
Students may be asked to remove personal pictures and videos prior to synching to
ensure there is enough available space for all school provided apps.
All apps will be purchased for academic use and are the property of Canadian
School.
The adding or deleting of an “app” or installed profile is by Canadian School only.
Failure to comply may result in restricted access to the iPad, disciplinary action,
and/or substantial re-image cost to the student.
Use or possession of hacking software is strictly prohibited and violators will be
subject to disciplinary action. Violation of applicable state or federal law will result in
criminal prosecution and/or disciplinary action by Canadian School.

Students who reset iPads and remove grade level apps, will be responsible for the
replacement cost of the apps and will receive disciplinary consequences.

Digital Citizenship
We support and safeguard students as they develop online safety skills and learn to be good
digital citizens in an environment that is safe, but that gradually broadens their experience.
Our school uses Web 2.0 tools to help students develop a deep understanding of both the
benefits and the responsibilities of working in a truly connected and collaborative way. Active
and productive members of the global community must learn to practice what it means to be
good digital citizens.
Digital Citizenship (DC) in our school is about having the knowledge, skills and attitudes
needed to demonstrate responsible and respectful behavior when using technology or
participating in digital environments.
We are committed to preparing our students to thrive in the 21st century. Digital citizenship is
key to helping Canadian School students learn to use available technology
responsibly to enable them to reach their full potential as learners.
The plans address how a school will work to build a community where we live and work
together as digital citizens.
Please check out Media Smarts' publicly available resources.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 refers to online apps that focus on:

social networking

online collaboration

learning
Examples include: educational games, media, news, wikis, and blogs. These tools can help
increase student engagement, personalize learning, and make real-world connections.
Web Filtering
Web filtering (content filtering) is a system that provides safe access to internet content.
Inappropriate or unsafe content may be blocked: some content is blocked for all users, and
other content may be suitable for older students but not for younger ones. Content filtering
also helps to protect against computer viruses, malware, adware, and other information
security risks. You can contact your principal for more information if you have questions about
the filtering policy in place for your child’s school.

Care and Support of Devices
Students and their parents/caregivers are solely responsible for the care and maintenance
of their devices.
2.
1.1
Students must have a supported operating system and current antivirus
software, if applicable, installed on their device and must continue to maintain
the latest service packs, updates and antivirus definitions as outlined on the
BYOD Student Responsibilities document.
1.2
Students are responsible for ensuring the operating system and all software on
their device is legally and appropriately licensed.
1.3
Students are responsible for managing the battery life of their device. Students
should ensure that their devices are fully charged before bringing them to school.
Schools are not responsible for (or restricted from) providing facilities for
students to charge their devices.
1.4
Students are responsible for securing and protecting their device in schools, and
while travelling to and from school. This includes protective/carry cases and
exercising common sense when storing the device. Schools are not required to
provide designated or secure storage locations.
1.5
Students should clearly label their device for identification purposes. Labels
should not be easily removable.
1.6
Students should understand the limitations of the manufacturer’s warranty on
their devices, both in duration and in coverage.
Damage and loss
3.
2.1
Students bring their devices onto the school site at their own risk. For advice on
theft
or
damage
of
students’
personal
devices,
https://detwww.det.nsw.edu.au/media/downloads/directoratesaz/legalservices/l
s/legalissuesbul/bulletin8.pdf
2.2
In cases of malicious damage or theft of another student’s device, existing
school processes for damage to school or another student’s property apply.
Technical support
The School are under no obligation to provide technical support for hardware or
software. The school may choose to provide this service to students if there are
sufficient resources available in the school.
4.
Insurance
Student devices are not covered by the Canadian School. Insurance is the
responsibility of parents/caregivers and students.
Using the iPad at Home






Students are allowed to set up wireless networks on their iPads. This will assist them
with iPad use while at home.
The school Internet filter will not work with iPads off-site.
Students will be responsible for giving their parents/guardians password information,
so that they can supervise the student’s use of the iPad at home.
When at home, the iPad should always be used under adult supervision in a common
family location (i.e., kitchen, living room, dining room).
If the iPad is lost, stolen, or damaged by another party, parents/guardians should
immediately report the loss or theft to law enforcement and Canadian School IT
Department.
Students are responsible for recharging the iPad at home on a daily basis.
General Use and Care of the iPad




Students must not change the lock screen of the iPad. The lock screen contains the
student name. It is much quicker to locate the owner with appropriate name
identification should the iPad be misplaced and found by another person.
Use a clean, soft cloth to clean the screen, no cleansers of any type.
When transporting their iPad to and from school, students should always be sure the
iPad is carried safely and that the protective cover remains in place. If placed in a
backpack or book bag, make sure the device is not compressed or scratched by
other objects in the bag. Careful placement in a backpack or book bag is important
in order to protect the screen. The screen is glass and is vulnerable to breaking.
Students are expected to treat their iPad with care and respect.










Students are encouraged to help each other in learning to operate their iPad.
However, such help should be provided verbally without touching the other person’s
iPad. Students should operate only their own iPad at all times. Siblings, friends, or
other family members may not use iPads; however, it is encouraged for parents or
guardians to monitor iPad usage.
Any inappropriate or careless use of an iPad should be reported to a teacher or other
staff member immediately.
Students should not use their iPad while walking. IPads can be fragile, and if they
are dropped they may break.
Students should protect their iPad from extreme heat or cold. IPads should never be
left in a car, even if the car is locked. If an iPad is left in a vehicle and is extremely
hot or cold, it needs to be brought in to room temperature and be left to return to
normal temperature before being turned on. Failure to do so may result in damage
resulting in a fine and/or replacement of the iPad.
IPads should be protected from the weather, water or other liquid, food, and pets.
Students should never eat or drink while using their iPad, or use their iPad near
others who are eating and drinking.
Heavy objects should never be placed or stacked on top of your iPad. This includes
books, musical instruments, sports equipment, etc. Do not lean on the top of the iPad
when closed. Avoid bumping the iPad against lockers, wall, car doors, floors, etc. as
it will eventually break the screen.
Waiting to charge the iPad until the charge is low (20% life or red indicator light)
extends battery life. Fully charged iPad batteries will typically accommodate 12-15
hours of use.
The iPad should either be turned off or in “sleep” mode when not in use. In addition,
iPads should not be placed on or under soft items such as pillows, chairs or sofa
cushions, or blankets. This will cause the iPad to overheat, and may result in damage
to the iPad.
Presence on the iPad of guns, weapons or look-alike weapons, pornographic
materials, inappropriate language, alcohol, drug, gang related symbols or pictures
will result in disciplinary actions according to school policies and procedures.
The iPad comes equipped with both front and rear-facing camera and video
capacities. As with all recording devices, it is best practice and common courtesy to
ask permission before recording an individual or group. Canadian School retains the
rights concerning any recording and/or publishing of any student or staff member’s
work or image. Students must obtain permission to publish a photograph or video.
Unauthorized recordings are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with School
Policy.
Frequently Ask Questions by Parents:
How will my child be using their device during the school day?
Students will use their devices to complete in class activities, access google docs, Apple
Applications, complete homework, collaborate in real time, research for projects, access
websites with curriculum related content, keep track of classroom assignments, and record
journal entries and other approved instructional activities.
Students should only bring personal devices for a specific use in classes where the teacher
has permitted them. Unless otherwise noted, devices are not to be used in open areas
(hallways, recesses or for non-instructional activities). This will be monitored by school staff.
What about responsible Digital Citizenship?
Digital citizenship encourages students to respect themselves, others and intellectual
property, while at the same time learning to think critically about protecting themselves and
others from harmful content and behaviours online. Recognizing that students have digital
lives and benefit from the use of technology, schools have the opportunity to help students
build the skills they need to become responsible citizens in the global online community.
Staff at Canadian School teach responsible digital citizenship daily. The school has
resources to support teaching digital citizenship.
http://www4.education.alberta.ca/media/8949/digital_citizenship_tech_briefing.pdf
How does the BYO iPad program support the new Ministerial Order outlined by
Alberta Education?
It supports the application of multiple literacies: reading, writing, mathematics, technology,
languages, media, and personal finance. It is a tool that supports learning.
What about security/theft/damage?
Devices are the sole responsibility of the student. Canadian School accepts no responsibility
for the security or safety of the device. Students are responsible for the security of the
device. Teachers and other staff will not store or hold onto devices.
What is the policy on charging personally owned devices while at school?
It is recommended that personally owned devices come to school with a full charge.
Students should be made aware that the school is not responsible to provide an opportunity
or the necessary power to charge their device during the school day.
What happens if the device breaks while in school?
The student will put the device away and take it home at the end of the school day where
the student and parent can troubleshoot the device. Canadian School has limited resources
and cannot provide comprehensive support for the wide variety of devices allowed under
this program.
Will the device be protected with Internet Content Filtering?
To facilitate instruction and practice Internet safety, Canadian School´s Internet connection
is protected by an Internet content filter. Cellular data plans do not use Canadian School´s
internet connection and therefore do not use Canadian School´s internet content filter.
Students should only use the Canadian School´s Wi-Fi internet connection with their BYOD
device while on Canadian School property.
Should I go out and buy my child a device?
Personally owned devices are a supplement to the equipment already in use in the
classroom. The school strongly encourages the BYO iPad program so that students can
have greater access to technology and maximize learning opportunities.
What access is available to my child if he/she does not bring their own device?
Teachers frequently provide collaborative lessons which encourage students to work
together, sharing information accessed through personal devices or school devices. When
individual work is assigned, students may use computers and other devices located in
classrooms and/or in the library or by signing out laptops from the laptop carts. No child’s
learning experience or academic performance will be affected because he or she does not
have an Internet connected device to bring to school (school will provide the device).
Does the BYO iPad wireless system, allow Canadian School to monitor activities on
BYOD devices?
Canadian School´s wireless system, is used solely for device registration, not device
management and, therefore, doesn’t provide Canadian School the capability to monitor
activities on BYOD devices. The purpose of the system is to provide an easy to use
mechanism to register BYOD devices to allow students and employees the ability to use
their own device on the Canadian School wireless network. During the registration process,
information such as IP address and MAC address are collected and logged. This information
would be used to locate a device if it is misplaced or if inappropriate activity, in possible
violation of the Canadian School Responsible Use of Electronic Resources Policy, was
traced back to a particular device on the network. It is not the intention of Canadian School
to actively manage, monitor or access BYOD devices. In situations where there is a potential
Canadian School Responsible Use of Electronic Resources violation, Canadian School does
reserve the right to investigate all devices and activities on the Canadian School network,
including BYOD devices, to determine if any wrong doing occurred. Types of Personal
Technology Devices and Accessories Students may use devices that fall into the following
categories: (1) laptops, (2) netbooks, (3) tablets, (4) eReaders and (5) iPads. In some
instances, teachers may allow cell phones/smartphones to be used.
Will students be able to record teachers or classmates (audio or video)?
With the permission of the teacher or administrator, students may make recordings.

School activities will continue to use the tools best suited for students' learning, such as
paper and pencil, outdoor activity, interpersonal communication, or a technology device.
Integrating BYOD provides yet another tool for our students and teachers, and by discussing
what tool is most appropriate for an activity, we learn how technology best serves students'
learning. The devices will be used when teachers deem that it is an appropriate
enhancement to student learning. The devices are not intended to minimize the role of the
teacher or instruction, but to add a tool that improves teaching and learning.

“Learning is complex work and like other forms of skilled and technical work it requires that
the person performing the job understand and be comfortable with his or her tool set.” Alberta Teacher, 2011
Combined with the right pedagogy and used responsibly, technologies in learning can serve
as:
1. The means for students to pursue lines of inquiry and interest in the academic disciplines
and beyond.
2. The opportunity for learners to collaborate with teachers and peers and to express
themselves and their ideas most effectively.
3. A vehicle for personalizing learning in ways that ensure each student is fully engaged in
learning and is successful in attaining established learning standards.
4. Opportunities for student choice in the use of multimedia to explore, research, think,
synthesize, analyze, evaluate, communicate and express ideas in high quality products.
5. A platform and forum for students’ voices.
6. Access to digital content and digital learning environments that provide multiple pathways
to learning.
7. Connections locally and globally that add authenticity to school work. This enables
students to learn while pursuing real-world issues and topics of deep interest to them,
both individually and collectively, within their communities of interest and beyond.
8. Platforms from which to learn about and attain high standards in digital citizenship.
9. Opportunities for students to construct ideas, opinions, arguments and evidence based
reasoning collaboratively. The reality is that web based tools and resources have
changed the landscape of learning. Students now have at their fingertips unlimited access
to digital content, resources, experts, databases and communities of interest. By
effectively leveraging such resources, school authorities not only have the opportunity to
deepen student learning, but they can also develop digital literacy, fluency and citizenship
in students that will prepare them for the high tech world in which they will live, learn and
work.
