DEVICE RECOMMENDATION & INFORMATION
DEVICE RECOMMENDATION & INFORMATION
At Cobham Intermediate we use digital technology to empower our students to become life-long, digital citizens who creatively use e-learning opportunities to enhance learning. To fully participate in the transformative experience provided, we recommend students bring their own iPad, of any size, that is fully capable of running the current IOS, and coping with updates.
Although the school will provide a limited number of devices for use in the classroom, we would ask that you consider the numerous benefits of a device that is personal to your child/family.
At the beginning of the year all students will participate in a Digital Literacy Unit where they will learn about our expectations around devices, safety in an online setting, how to store their device safely and how to keep themselves safe. The unit links to our school Digital Agreement and we believe it vitally important that we prepare our students for learning in online environments.
We implement several initiatives including N4L, Netsafe and Apple Classroom to improve online student safety and use Google Apps for Education to monitor and facilitate digital-based education.

To create a detailed, future focussed Digital Agreement that reflects our school and ICT vision, this site documents acceptable use, media release, and internet, safety procedures.
Cobham Intermediate School is committed to preparing all students and teachers to maximise learning by fully integrating relevant technology into academic content to acquire, share and evaluate information, achieve media and technology literacy, and maintain a safe and ethical environment.
The Digital Agreement is based on the nine themes of digital citizenship and aligns to the e-Learning Planning Framework Dimensions, Ministry of Education. Some other resources that are underpinned throughout are the 2018 Digital Technology Curriculum, NetSafe, Common Sense Media, and the Cobham 'ICT Vision'.
The vision is also built upon the 6 categories of the Cobham Strategic Plan to ensure we provide a specialist environment to ensure our students will achieve for life.
Mike Ribble defines the nine themes of digital citizenship as:
Access: full electronic participation in society.
Commerce: buying and selling of electronic goods.
Communication: electronic exchange of information.
Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology.
Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds.
Rights & Responsibilities: extended to everyone in a digital world.
Health & Wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world.
Security: electronic precautions to guarantee safety.
