BYODD Research

Department of Education Literature Review (2013)

A literature review undertaken by the NSW Department of Education and Communities found that
the key considerations for implementing BYOD were:

• The widespread availability of wireless internet-enabled devices.
• The integral nature of these devices to the students' own world.
• The possibility of leveraging students' attachment to their own devices to deepen
  learning and to make learning more personalised and student-centred.

BYODD Conditions:

Orange High School reserves the right to request:

• To inspect a device at any stage.
• The removal of inappropriate content on the exterior of a personal device.
• The removal of inappropriate content from a personal device.
• A full digital restore of a personal device if inappropriate content is detected.

Orange High School reserves the right to:

• Cancel a device registration at any stage if these requests are not met.

  across the wider school community.
