Bring Your Own Device – BYOD Programme ACG School Jakarta aspires to become a centre of leadership and educational excellence that demonstrates an innovative vision for learning with technology. As such, the establishment of a BYOD programme, innovative use of technology platforms, faculty proficiency with technologies and documented results will help us on our journey. ACG School Jakarta teachers use technology tools to enhance their teaching and students in the Secondary School are required to bring their own device. Our vision is that ACG School Jakarta students will be well prepared to face the ever-changing world that we live in today. Information Technology is an integral part of day-to-day living; therefore, students need to be able to understand and utilise these tools effectively. Students will acquire the skills necessary to select and manage digital tools that will empower them in all phases of the learning process, including research, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, self-management and collaboration. All students are expected to bring to school a device. The students use these digital devices daily and therefore need to bring them to school unless instructed not to (e.g. Athletics Day). We provide secondary school students with a locker for security, but it is the student’s responsibility to look after their device. There is a “no device” time at the designated eating times during Morning Break and Lunch as we want to foster the time for socialising through the spoken word. Our Requirements are:

Responsible Use Agreement Introduction ACG School Jakarta believes in a Digital Citizenship model for supporting safe and responsible use of the Internet in teaching and learning. An important part of this is that we are able to show others what responsible use looks like while we are using technology in our learning. We think a good digital citizen is someone who;
is a confident and capable user of ICT.
will use ICT for learning as well as other activities.
will think carefully about whether the information they see online is true.
will be able to speak the language of digital technologies.
understands that they may experience problems when using technology but can deal with them.
will always use ICT to communicate with others in positive ways.
will be honest and fair in all their actions using ICT.
will always respect people’s privacy and freedom of speech online.
will help others to become a better digital citizen.
Because we know this is important for us all, we ask everyone, including the staff, students, and volunteers working at the school to agree to use the Internet and other technologies in a safe and responsible way by following the rules laid out in this Responsible Use Agreement. If someone cannot agree to act responsibly, or the things they do harm others, then we might stop them from using the Internet or other technologies at school. Responsible Use Agreement When using Information & Communications Technologies (ICT) at ACG School Jakarta, I will always be a good digital citizen. This means that I; Will be a confident and capable user of ICT. I know what I do and do not understand about the technologies that I use. I will get help where I need it. Will use ICT for learning as well as other activities. I understand that technology can help me to learn. I also know it can also be used to talk to people, to buy and sell things, and to have my opinion heard. I know when and where it is appropriate to do each one. Will think carefully about whether the information I see online is true. I understand that it is easy to put information online. This means that what I see is not always right. I will always check to make sure information is factual before I use it. Will be able to speak the language of digital technologies. When people speak online, the things they say can be quite different from a conversation they might have if they were sitting next to each other. I know that I must try to understand what people are saying before I react to them. If I am not sure, I can ask them or someone else to explain. Understand that I may experience problems when I use technology but that I will learn to deal with them.

I understand that there will be times when technology may not work as I expect it to, or that people may be mean or unkind to me online. When these things happen, I know that there are ways I can deal with it. I also know there are people I can go to for help if I am unsure of what to do next. Will always use ICT to communicate with others in positive, meaningful ways. I will always talk politely and with respect to people online. I know that it is possible to bully or hurt people with what I say and do on the internet. I will think about the effect that my actions have on other people. Will be honest and fair in all of my actions using ICT. I will never do anything online that I know will hurt anyone. I will make sure what I do is not against the law. I will make sure that my actions don’t break the rules of the websites that I use. When I am unsure about what to do, I will ask for help. Will always respect people’s privacy and freedom of speech online. I understand that some information is private. I will be careful when using full names, birthdays, addresses, passwords, and photos of other people and of me. I also know that I will not always agree with what people say online, but that does not mean that I can stop them or use it as an excuse to be unkind to them. Will help oneself and others to become better digital citizens. Being a good digital citizen is something that requires work. If I know that my friends are having problems online, I will try to help them. If I see that someone is being treated unfairly online, I will speak up rather than just watch it happen. Student Declaration I understand that these guidelines for responsible use are to be followed when using any technology whilst at school or during any school activity. I am aware that this may include the use of a device that the school does not own. I understand that if I breach this responsible use agreement, I may lose access to school ICT services, including the use of the Internet, on school-owned or personal devices used at school. Parent Declaration I understand that ACG School Jakarta has a policy and associated procedures* that outline the school’s digital citizenship approach and how this supports teaching and learning. *These documents are available on ManageBac. I understand that the school provides access to the Internet and other communications technologies because it believes that they enhance the teaching and learning process. I understand that the school encourages responsible behaviour by students when using technology to help protect themselves and others from experiencing harm online. I am aware that this Responsible Use Agreement is part of that, and that it encourages students to consider how their actions can affect themselves and those around them. I have read the student declaration and have talked with my child about what it means to them. I am confident that my child understands what this means, and that they can work within the guidelines. I am aware that while students can experience challenges when using technology, the school makes every effort to support students to manage those challenges effectively. I understand that by learning to deal with them in a safe environment with the appropriate support, students will be better prepared to deal with similar challenges in the future. If I have questions or concerns about the way in which technology is being used by my child at school, I know the school is available to discuss this with me, and I am aware that I am welcome to do this at any time.
