BYOT

Bring Your Own Technology, or BYOT, is where students bring their personally owned device to school for the purpose of learning.

Shoalhaven High School seeks to support students in the appropriate use of technology in its delivery of curriculum. It strongly and actively supports the use of 21st century technologies into all teaching and learning programs provided at the school, but also recognises that its community cannot necessarily be committed to the use of specific devices or even the provision of a device. ‘Bring Your Own Device' creates certain limitations regarding device use, therefore the school has committed to the use of ‘Bring Your Own Technology', as its policy platform. This would enable students to readily utilise devices that are financially accessible for their families. Shoalhaven HS is acutely conscious of the social divide that can exist with student access to technology and this policy is focused on developing appropriate student use of all forms of technology, including smart phones, in learning environments.

Students who wish to use their own device at school, need to read and acknowledge the BYOT Policy and Procedure guidelines and return the signed BYOT Student agreement.

To support BYOT, students have access to a range of software at low or zero cost such as a FREE Microsoft Office365 license which includes programs such as Word, Excel and Onenote and a free Adobe Creative Cloud subscription which includes programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and more.
