•MY 2013 & 2014: Evaluate progress

BYOT Fundamentals:• Personal choice of the technology by the student or family,

although schools can advise.

• The enhanced facility for the personalisation of teaching and learning in and outside the school walls.

• The recognition that the in-school use of the students’ digital technology is an extension from students’ existing use of that technology to assist their self-teaching and learning

• The home and students having their ownership of the technology and the information stored thereon respected.

• Authentic home-school collaboration is integral to the school’s achievement of the normalised usage of the students’ technology
