 * Sample Secondary Policy: Use of Personal Electronic Devices at School **

School BBBBBB believes that personal electronic devices such as ipods/MP3 players and mobile phones can be a valuable asset to learning and teaching in the classroom when used appropriately and safely. Students may use ipods/MP3 players and mobile phones in the classroom only **with explicit teacher permission** //and// **only if the teacher has determined that:**
 * Implementation: **

1. The use is directly related to learning and teaching, or to meeting student learning style preferences. 2. Their use is not interfering with their learning or that of other students. 3. Their use takes into account health and safety considerations eg. Not sharing ear phones, mindful of a reasonable level of sound to protect against auditory damage, able to hear teacher instructions. 4. Students are working better with access to the devices than if they did not have access to the devices. 5. Privacy of other students or the teacher is not compromised by the use of such devices.

If explicit teacher permission has not been given, electronic devices **must** be turned off and **must not** be visible or audible during classes, detentions or organised school activities. Students must not use their mobile phones as communication devices in the classroom, detention or on organised school activities. Teachers should not permit students to use electronic devices purely for entertainment purposes. Unless permission has been given, the devices cannot be used for any purpose including as calculators, timepieces, radios, storage devices or cameras. This policy will be reviewed as part of the College’s review cycle or when new information is provided by DEECD.
 * Sanctions will apply if students use the devices without explicit permission. **
 * Evaluation **
