BYODD for Learning

St. Patrick's is a BYODD school. The BYODD (Bring Your Own Digital Device) for Learning Program is about students having their own digital device - an Apple iPad at school. This tool is to assist them in researching, collaborating, creating and problem solving in the classroom independently and with their peers.
