苹果iPad计划

将加入ipad共享系统，从而接入ipad mini以进行特定课程，只有在教师的监督下他们才可使用ipad。每个孩子每天使用iPad mini 一两小时以进行相关的课堂活动，但不会将iPad带回家。

将参与1对1的iPad系统，他们获分配一台iPad供整个学年使用。他们获准每天放学后将自己的ipad带回家去做作业或继续学习。

• The APPLE Regional Education Team are our partners in this project and they advise on the programme rollout as well as to provide special training sessions for our teachers.
• R.E.A.L Schools has also employed an external consultant for the iPad programme, Craig Kemp, a New Zealander who was the head of education technology at Stamford American International School, Singapore and currently a global education consultant who has many years of experience introducing iPad technology into top international schools around the world. Craig has been training our teachers and helping our school set up education technology (EdTech) coaching teams to ensure the rollout was smooth and effective.

• All teachers received extensive training on how to use the iPads to enhance their classroom teaching from the Apple team and our consultant, Craig Kemp.

• Every campus has established an EdTech team comprising seven teachers who have received specialist training from Craig Kemp to act as technology champions for the school as well as coaches and guides to the teachers on how to use the iPads effectively and meaningfully in their classrooms.

• The network infrastructure of all campuses have been upgraded to fibre optic systems which increased the network performance a hundred fold from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, ensuring Enhanced WiFi capability
• Apple TVs and Projectors have been installed in all classrooms, allowing real-time sharing and projection of learning activities.

• To ensure students and staff do not abuse the iPads, REAL Schools has drawn up a responsible use of technology policy which forbids students from using the iPads in a negative or destructive way including cyber bullying or accessing inappropriate content from the Internet.
• We have also employed a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system that enables IT administrators to ensure central security and control and monitor iPads deployed within the school (e.g. security access, pushing and disabling of apps, monitoring activities, etc.) No games other than educational apps are downloaded into the school iPads.
• Use of ‘Screen Time’ system ensures that both the School and parents can manage and control the iPad time for students to avoid excessive use and any form of addiction to the technology.

• REAL Schools will hold special workshops for parents to understand better the role of technology in enhancing learning, online security, and how parents can manage and monitor their children’s technological usage.
