ICS is introducing the BYOD program starting the 2022-2023 academic year to allow students to use their own personal laptops to run school applications and access academic information while on campus. A dedicated WiFi network will be provided for students to connect to the internet for access to the school website, applications, educational information and resources. Students are still bound by the Student Handbook and Technology Code of Conduct under the BYOD program.
Benefits of the BYOD Program
Flexibility in choosing preferred operating system
Encourages higher productivity rates while using a personal device
Teaches students self-discipline and device management
Enables a contingent-ready teaching and learning environment
