Dear Board of Trustees,

I both agree and disagree with Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) at Nelson Central School.This is when children bring I PADS and other devices to  school to help them learn.

I disagree because you have to charge them up all the time. This will cost the school  a lot of money in power.  I also disagree because it won’t be fair for the kids who don’t have a device. A fact is that me and my brother if we had  i pads it would cost  $1600 in  total for two I PADS.  

I agree that we should have BYOD  because it makes  learning  fun and easy. It makes learning fast.You can store more maths,reading and writing on the device .

For example we can retell stories using the puppet pals app. Some games on Room 5s I PAD make good training for basic facts.

In conclusion, I’m not sure that we should have BYOD at Nelson Central school . The  schools power bill will go sky high but they are good for learning.

Kind regards

Harry
