Gadget Drive

Mr Butler’s class is looking to start a pilot program in which students are able to use old donated smartphones and Wi-Fi enabled devices from the community to enhance their learning.

Technology is now seamlessly being integrated into every facet of our lives. With Smartphones students are now able to use photos and film to enhance work, send homework reminders, research, share work, do online readings and submit assignments, online quizzes and significantly reduce the paper trail and our eco-foot print. All this is at our finger tips, but students must be introduced and taught to use online tools responsibly.

Please help by donating any used and old smartphones (Blackberry, Samsung/Android or Iphone) to Mr Butler’s class. Other Internet accessible products such as old ipods, Gameboys, etc are appreciated. These phones do not require a SIM card or any phone plan to work as they can be connected to the school’s Wi-Fi.

Please contact Mr Butler with any questions or concerns.
