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
