Pupil iPad Deployment

In January our pupils will have access to iPads to support their learning. This is part of a council wide programme called Connected Learning.

 

As part of the programme pupils in P1-5 will share 1 iPad between 5 children and pupils in P6&7 will receive their own iPad.

 

As part of the rollout out we are hosting parent/family information sessions on Monday the 16th of December where you can come along and learn more about what the rollout means for your child’s learning at Hyndland Primary School. There will be three information sessions throughout the day and you are invited to attend the session that suits you, the sessions will be held in the hall from 14:00-15:00, 15:30-16:30 and 17:00-18:00. Please note that due to space restrictions we are asking that a maximum of two people per family attend.

 

You can sign up to the session of your choice HERE

 

Next week pupils in P6 and P7 will also be issued with Pupil Acceptable Use agreement that they must read with their family, sign and return to thier class teacher by the end of term. Failure to return the agreement will result in them not receiving their iPads in January.

The Digital leaders help other students with their coding and Digital skills.

They teach code club with Miss Moir and we go to the Apple store to learn how to teach other children about technology.
