Introduction
Beginning in the Academic school year 2020-2021, it is required that every student from
4th to 11th grade brings his or her own iPad/MacBook for Learning.
1:1 BYOD Parent Guide for Rochester School is a document designed to provide parents
with guidelines for the implementation of the program. We want to provide tips and
relevant information regarding 1:1 BYOD program for parents to use while purchasing,
using and monitoring children’s use of mobile devices.

8Learning with Technology: Why iPads and MacBooks?
Apple Education Environment
Apple has created a robust structure to facilitate education and learning since its early
days. Today, our teachers work within an all Apple Education environment, are familiar with
working with iPads, iMacs, MacBooks, Apple TVs and the broad array of educational apps
available, and received continuous training on teaching and learning with Apple Devices—
we have more than 92% certified Apple Teachers.
Apple Teacher
Our Educator staff has received training on integrating technology in a purposeful way for
the last couple of years. This Certification is awarded to educators, and we are now part of
a community of teachers from around the world who share their stories and ideas on using
Apple technology in fun and creative ways. Apple Teacher provides a strong foundation
9for using iPad, Mac, and Apple apps like Pages, Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand, and
iMovie in the classroom.
Apple School Manager
Also, Apple provides a free management system specifically designed for schools called
Apple School Manager (ASM). This allows us to acquire apps within a Volume Purchase
Program, and provide access to our students to many learning opportunities through apps
for their own devices. ASM provides free managed Apple ID accounts for students with
200GB for learning purposes.
App Store & Educational Apps
Apple’s App Store has the biggest library of quality educational apps in the world aimed
for PK to College levels. This repository, tied to Apple’s Volume Purchase Program,
provides bulk discounts to up to 50% of cost and makes it an excellent tool for us to foster
innovative learning experiences geared towards each child.
iCloud & iWork
iCloud and iWork features such as Pages, Numbers and Keynote are free, and Apple
released iCloud.com in 2018, which allows for the whole world to access iWork with the
requisite of having an iCloud free account. iWork is now based in the Cloud, and you can
access it from any operating system or device, not just Apple. Live collaborative features
(just like Google Drive or Office 365) are available.
iPad Special Features
The iPad was designed for education, and with Apple School Manager, Volume Purchase
Program, iCloud, and its portable, light, and friendly operating system, facilitate learning.
Plus, with features like high responsiveness to the Apple Pencil, we can bring the power of
the everyday pencil to the 21st Century.
10Classroom Management
We will use Classroom app, a learning and Device management app which allows for the
teacher to prepare the devices for learning before hand and keep live track of every
student’s progress. The teacher can block devices, mute, share apps or sites, lock students
in specific tasks, all from his iPad or MacBook.
Sustainability
Consistent with our school's philosophy, Apple has a recycling program in Colombia,
ensuring that all our outdated or no longer functioning devices will be recycled. Also,
having free Cloud space, and a broad array of apps and free Apple Books curated by
Apple Distinguished Educators, we can contribute to diminishing the impact of the use of
pencils, paper, plastic, and rubber on a yearly basis.
Choice Theory
Personal digital devices are magnificent tools to support self-paced learning, which is one
of the pinnacle principles of a competent-based classroom, as suggested by Dr. Glasser.
We aim to provide a learning environment that allows for students to lead their learning
process in a need-satisfying way, with adequate tools that enable students to learn at their
own pace to become competent.
11Privacy, Security & Device Management
We have the utmost commitment to student privacy and security. When Apple devices are
enrolled in the Apple School Manager and Mosyle Mobile Device Management system, we
are able to completely manage access and restrictions. We follow guidelines, which have
proven effective around the world, to ensure our students’ wellbeing. Features such as
profile assignment for students based on their age group, allow for us to activate
restrictions so students may have specific access to apps that have been curated and
suggested for their developmental stage group.
Also, we may lock devices remotely during family time, weekends, sleep time, and bus
time from our offices at school. In addition to this feature, the school is able to remotely
install educational apps on the go, review student Screen Time, and better improve
practices for Digital Wellbeing for our students.
Apple’s Education Privacy*1
“We created privacy features and services that are designed specifically for education,
including Apple School Manager, iTunes U, and Managed Apple IDs. We don’t sell
student information and we never share it with third parties to use for marketing or
advertising. We don’t collect, use, or disclose student information other than to
provide relevant educational services. And we never track students or build profiles
based on their email or web browsing. With Managed Apple IDs, the student’s
information is under the control of the education institution. And schools can purchase
and deliver apps to a student’s iPad without using an iTunes login.
In the Schoolwork app, only the student and teachers listed as instructors of a course
have access to student progress information, and only if the school has enabled
student progress recording in Apple School Manager. Teachers only have access to
progress data on activities assigned for the specific class they teach.
Parents can decide if they want their child to participate, and students have access to
their own data on their device. To ensure additional transparency, students will see a
notification anytime their progress is being recorded.
To provide the best privacy protections for students and teachers, we have updated all
relevant agreements and processes to align with the EU General Data Protection
1 Taken from apple.com
12Regulation (GDPR). In addition, Apple has signed the Student Privacy Pledge, further
underscoring our commitment to protecting the information students, parents, and
teachers share in our schools.”

14Media Balance and Well-being
Media balance
“While we know that kids and adults are using their devices a lot -- and our research even
tells us they feel "addicted" -- there's no official diagnosis for "device addiction" or
consensus on what this phrase means. Moreover, the line between healthy and harmful use
varies from person to person and context to context (with evidence showing that already
vulnerable teens, for instance, are more likely to exhibit unhealthy use of media), and
research shows both positive and negative impacts of everything from social media to
games.
Common Sense Media lessons focus on agency, not addiction, and quality time, not screen
time. This means encouraging students to reflect on their own media diets and to develop
individual plans for healthy media balance that consider both how media contributes
15productively and unproductively to their lives and relationships, and to grow the former
and reduce the latter..2
Tools for Reflection
“With Screen Time, you can access real-time reports about how much time you spend on
your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and set limits for what you want to manage.3”

“Create a Media Plan that is specific to your family. Name your plan & enter the names &
ages of your children to get started.4”

American Academy of Pediatrics Articles
Beyond Screen Time
Official position statement of the AAP in regards to Screen Time and children, June 2019.
“…much of the digital environment was built with adult users in mind, which means
children’s unique cognitive, social and emotional vulnerabilities are not accounted
for or are exploited for more clicks. Therefore, encouraging digital literacy from the
earliest ages, accompanying and guiding them all the time, is crucial for children to
get the most out of the digital environment and avoid its risks.
Digital literacy is more than knowing how to download and play games. It means
how children think critically about technology and learn how to use it
constructively.”
From: https://www.aappublications.org/news/2019/04/24/masteringmedia042419
Children and Media Tips
“Limit digital media for your youngest family members. Avoid digital media for
toddlers younger than 18 to 24 months other than video chatting. For children 18
to 24 months, watch digital media with them because they learn from watching and
talking with you. Limit screen use for preschool children, ages 2 to 5, to just 1 hour a
day of high-quality programming. Again co-viewing is best when possible and for
young children they learn best when they are re-taught in the real world what they
just learned through a screen. So, if Ernie just taught the letter D, you can reiterate
this later when you are having dinner or spending time with your child.”

and-safety-tips/Pages/Children-and-Media-Tips.aspx
18School-Aged Children and Adolescents
“In this new era, evidence regarding healthy media use does not support a one-
size-fits-all approach. Parents and pediatricians can work together to develop a
Family Media Use Plan.” You can find it directly at HealthyChildren.org or in Colegio
Rochester's blog: rochester.edu.co/blog.
“Benefits include exposure to new ideas and knowledge acquisition, increased
opportunities for social contact and support, and new opportunities to access
health-promotion messages and information. Risks include negative health effects
on weight and sleep; exposure to inaccurate, inappropriate, or unsafe content and
contacts; and compromised privacy and confidentiality.” The risks stated above have
been weighed, considered, trained, and prepared for through traning, the use of
tools, amongst other initiatives.

Common Sense 2019 (Children 0-8 years old)
This report is based on US study groups and user perception. 67% of interviewed
parents think that technology helps their children learn. More data is needed for
