At School. A charging cord will be issued with the Chromebook. Each student is expected to bring a fully charged Chromebook to school every day and bring his/her Chromebook to all classes unless specifically advised not to do so by the teacher. School staff will monitor student usage when students are at school. In addition to teacher expectations for Chromebook use, students will be accessing curriculum information and content-appropriate online information in all classes. Any strategy used to circumvent security settings and filtering technologies including removing the device from the domain is a violation of this policy. External removable devices are prohibited, including USB drives and flash drives. At Home Unless otherwise advised by the school’s administration or the program the student is attending, all students are required to take their Chromebook home each night throughout the school year for charging. Chromebooks must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. If fully charged at home, the battery will last throughout the day. Repeatedly leaving the Chromebook at home may result in referral to administration and possible disciplinary action. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child’s use of the Chromebook when accessing programs from home. Some sites may be blocked even at home since they are filtered by our System. STPSB makes significant effort to filter objectionable content, but we recommend that parents and guardians remain diligent in observing student behavior when using these devices outside of school. Remember, the Chromebook is an educational tool and should still be considered and used for Educational Purposes only. Some applications can be used while not connected to the Internet. Students are bound by STPSB policies and all other guidelines in this document wherever they use their Chromebooks. Sound • While at school, sound must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the teacher for instructional purposes. • Headphones may be used at the discretion of the teacher. Video Teleconferencing Your student may have the opportunity to participate in distance or remote learning via video and/or audio conferencing. As classrooms may operate virtually, observations will also occur virtually which may require recording by the teacher of the virtual or hybrid classroom. Managing Digital Work with a Chromebook Google Apps for Education is a suite of applications (word processing, slideshow presentations, spre...
At School. All devices should connect to the district network while on school property. This process should happen automatical- ly. If you are having difficulty getting online, please see the wireless troubleshooting steps below. At Home Only connect to trusted wireless networks. Many public spaces have several wireless networks viewable, some of these networks are unsafe. Do not connect to a network that you do not know or that you suspect to be unsafe. To connect to a wireless network: Click on the Wi-Fi icon in lower right corner (the status bar). It may be between the battery and sound icons. Select the Wi-Fi network name you would like to connect to. If the Wi-Fi network is password protected, enter in that password when prompted. We understand that some families may not have Internet access at home. Teachers are encouraged to ensure all computer- based homework is able to be completed without Internet access. In addition, a map of local businesses/sites that have free public Wi-Fi access can be found on the District website. Troubleshooting: Many technical problems can be resolved easily by following the troubleshooting checklist. If your device is broken or dam- aged, you must report the damage to your building administrator or teacher immediately. Each secondary building has a dedi- cated technician. If your device is broken or the problem cannot be resolved by following the troubleshooting checklist, your building technician will be happy to assist you. Basic Troubleshooting Checklist: If you cannot connect to a website or online resource: Look at the message on your screen: Is it blocked by the content filter? Do you get a 404 page not found?, or Does it say you are not connected? Be sure that your wireless is on and you are connected.

At School. At Lumen Christi we will continue to design all of our learning programs based on the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (and from 2013 The Australian Curriculum) that guides all Victorian Primary Schools. Children in Years Five and Six will work within these standards in all areas including Literacy, Numeracy, Arts, Humanities and Sciences. With this in mind, we envisage that the iPads will provide the students with heightened access to research, publishing, problem solving, designing and presenting their learning in a fluid and flexible environment. AT LUMEN CHRISTI WE: • Provide a filtered internet service through SINA • Provide supervision and direction in internet activities and when using mobile technologies for learning. • Work towards setting tasks that ask your child open questions so they can’t copy and paste all answers from the internet. • Will provide support to parents through information evenings and documents. LUMEN CHRISTI AND 1:1 IPADS We believe the 1 on 1 iPad for all Year Five and Six students is an exciting initiative that will allow us to embrace the needs of a 21st Century Learner. Children today think, connect and communicate very differently to when you as parents were children; in fact they think and communicate differently to the way children did five years ago at school. They live in a digital world and the reality of this world is that change happens so rapidly that access to knowledge, information and connections to the wider world are an essential part of their learning. Our current children are the next global citizens where creating, making, problem solving and collaborative skills will be highly valued in the jobs they will seek. Our children live in a world where information can be accessed very quickly over the internet, where they can communicate with peers and create new knowledge. As a school we are keen to inspire and engage this new generation of learner with today’s technological tools and assist them in reaching their full potential in all areas of the curriculum. THE GRADE FIVE AND SIX 1 TO 1 IPAD PROGRAM WILL HELP US ACHEIVE THIS BY; • By providing each Grade Five and Six child with their own iPad throughout the course of the day for “anytime, anywhere learning”. • Providing wireless broadband internet access, with appropriate filtering that connects all Grade Five and Six children to local and global communities. • Allowing all children to access information quickly and create products that demonstrate the...
