BYOD AT PLEASANT UNION

The BYOD initiative at Pleasant Union Elementary School involves students, teachers, parents and administrators working together to create a technologically advanced learning environment that allows students to enhance their critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration.

Components of our BYOD program:

• Teachers plan and implement rigorous and engaging activities that support the curriculum.
• Students use kid-safe search engines, educational apps and Internet sites via links on our PUE Student Weblinks and teachers' websites.
• Teachers monitor students' usage of devices closely.
• Teachers teach Internet Safety and anti-bullying lessons.
• To ensure that all students will have equal access to technology, staff will provide school-owned devices (iPads and laptops) to students without BYOD devices.

The initiative is a privilege for students, not a right.
