Alfred Deakin High School is committed to providing a technology rich environment for our students as our community believes the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is fundamental in assisting teaching and learning in all areas of the school curriculum.
The use of web-based learning resources and cloud based storage has risen steadily over the last decade and are increasingly being used by teachers across the Directorate to improve student learning outcomes. Teachers make decisions designed to assist students in their learning. Sometimes it is beneficial for the student to utilise services provided by third party web-based providers. Types of services provided by these service providers include online content creation, collaborative tools, online educational games and various administrative programs for tracking student assessment data.
By consenting to these permissions, parents are enabling students to access third party websites and this may require students to create an account with a provider. This requires some personal information about the student in your care, we are obliged under the Information Privacy Act 2014 to advise you of the reasons for collecting the information, what will be done with it, the consequence of not collecting it and who else may have access to it.
The following providers have been identified as being a useful component in the teaching programs in many classes at Alfred Deakin High School. To assist you in deciding whether to give consent, the sites identified are listed below/overleaf with the description of the type of service/program together with the website address and a link to the provider’s privacy policy and terms and conditions of use. You are not required to consent – this is a matter entirely at your discretion.
