BYOD Toolkit from Noel Leeming

Noel Leeming have developed a 'toolkit' for parents and schools. Please click on the link to see product brochures, parent guides, and information videos (https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/byod-toolkit.html).

Things to consider when choosing a Chromebook package:

  1. Remember to look around for the best deal, there are more stockists than just Noel Leeming.

  2. If your insurance does not cover your child's Chromebook, then extended warranty and Accidental Damage Cover are good options - accidents do happen,

  3. A bag is good for keeping your child's Chromebook safe in transit,

  4. Headphones are useful when accessing multimedia learning.

  5. For even more functionality, get a Chromebook that has a 360 degree hinge as this enables learners to take photos for Seesaw with ease.

  6. Students will be required to register their Chromebook with the school using an education licence.

Here are some Chromebooks that we recommend (click on link to view):

  1. Lenovo 11.6' touchscreen

  2. Lenovo 13.3" IdeaPad.

Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship Defined.

Digital citizenship combines the confident use of:

  • skills and strategies to access technology to communicate, connect, collaborate, and create

  • attitudes, underpinned by values that support personal integrity and positive connection with others

  • understanding and knowledge of the digital environments and contexts in which they are working, and how they integrate on/offline spaces.

And then, critically, for students to have the ability to draw on this competency of "digital fluency" to participate in life-enhancing opportunities (social, economic, cultural, civil) and achieve their goals in ways that make an important difference.

Key points for Mums and Dads raising Digital Citizens:

  1. be engaged,

  2. gain experience with what apps your child uses,

  3. never let your child use their device in their bedroom or alone.
