The BYOD programme requests students to bring their own mobile device at school (laptops and computers, not phones). S5, S6 and S7 students must have their device with them, from the All Saints holiday on. 

In order to suit all possible uses, make sure the device has:

• A proper keyboard (your own language)
• A large display
• Good battery life
• At least 4 GB memory
• Windows is preferred because of support you can have from school and for the office programs, MacOS is suitable too
• Microsoft office installed (can be downloaded for free for students)
• For tablets: a digital pen to write on tablets

For new S5 students, we recommend tablets over laptops with three educational and didactic specifications:

1. The device must be operable while lying flat on a table.
2. The device must allow a keyboard to be connected.
3. The device must be operable with a digital pen.

There is a possibility to charge the laptops in the S5 and S6/S7 préau.

The use of the device works according to the following rules for students:.

1. You are RESPONSIBLE for your device, including care, safety, charging, installing necessary programs, having it ready at the beginning of the lesson, etc.
2. You know all your SECURE passwords, especially for office 365
3. You make sure that you use the more reliable BYOD - Wi-Fi
4. The following are NOT allowed while using your device during lesson time:
   1. Games, social media, streaming or private communication (unless expressly authorised by teachers)
   2. Recordings (photo, video, sound) of persons or lesson content without the prior consent of the persons concerned and the teacher
5. If you have problems with your Wi-Fi connection or your device (hardware) go to Frank Charlier's office for the BYOD - Tech support
6. If you need help to organise yourself on your device, to work more efficiently, or general software questions go to the BYOD - Consultation (Ms. Wilke, Tuesday, P6)

S5-S6-S7 students can connect to the WOL-BYOD Wi-Fi network by using their credentials to log on to the school computers or Extranet Students.
