Digital learning
Digital tools offer exciting opportunities and are capable of opening up whole new worlds of learning for children.

YEARS 1-4
In Junior School, digital technology is used as part of classroom teaching via TV's, and shared classroom devices, but children don't bring a device from home.
YEARS 5 & 6
In years 5 and 6, 'Bring your own device' (BYOD) is optional but recommended. We have devices available for students that are unable to bring their own. We invite you to read the Y5/6 BYOD Agreement and the FAQs for more information.
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
We need to learn how to keep ourselves safe and make good choices in ways we interact when we are online. Good digital citizens help to make our school a safe and positive place for everyone.Therefore, a all learners, with their parents, are asked to read and Titirangi School's Digital Technologies and Cyber Safety Student Use Agreement. We also recommend visiting the Netsafe website for advice about online safety for children.
GOOGLE WORKSPACE
In years 3, 4, 5 and 6 teachers use Google Classroom to manage student and class accounts. It enables teachers to push activities out to their class, and to check the work that has been done. Google Workspace also provides monitoring to keep children safe while they are online at school.
CHOOSING A DEVICE
Our school's preferred device is a Chromebook. This device must be able to:
-
