BYOD

---

At Tawa Intermediate School students have the opportunity to bring their own digital device to school for use in the classroom learning programme. This initiative is known as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).

All students at Tawa Intermediate have a Google Apps account which includes Mail, Drive (Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations etc.) and Calendar. Their account credentials are used to access our filtered wi-fi network via user authentication when opening a web browser. 

The Tawa Intermediate School network will support any Wi-Fi capable device. There are no restrictions on the brand or type of device a student may use, so students can bring any device that suits their learning preference.  

Many parents have asked for help in choosing the right device for their child. At Tawa Intermediate School we recommend Chromebooks. 

Chromebooks are made with schools in mind, especially schools like ours, who run Google Apps for Education. Fast start up, fast browsing, low maintenance, durable and affordable, the Chromebook removes many of the traditional barriers experienced when using computers in the classroom.
