THE DEVICE. Students in the BYOD program will bring their own laptop or notebook style device. We recognize the learning needs of students change as they progress through high school, and so the device that will be most beneficial to them will also change. The operating system on the device should be capable of installing full versions of application software such as the Microsoft Office Suite, and Adobe Creative Cloud. To this end, tablet devices running on mobile operating systems, such as the iPad running on iOS or Android based tablets, such as those in the Samsung Note series, are not appropriate. Many students will have a preference for Apple devices, running on the OSX operating system. Some will prefer a PC style product utilizing Windows 7, 8 or 10. Either of these types of devices are appropriate to bring, provided they meet the minimum specifications as outlined below in point 6.2. Devices running Windows 8 RT are also not appropriate. Google Chromebooks will not be appropriate in this program. We recommend a device with a screen size of between 11 and 13 inches (measured diagonally) would be ideal. If students already have access to a device at home that meets our minimum specifications, they are welcome to bring that to use. Parents will also have the opportunity to purchase devices that have been tested on our network via a purchasing portal, taking advantage of education pricing on these devices.
