BYOD in IBDP (13)
During the 2 years of IB Diploma at DCSG, a number of online resources will be used to help facilitate student learning. To this end students will participate in a Bring Your Own Device program, noting that our program is very flexible with only recommendations regarding the type of device utilised. If there are any tips for choosing a device they are the four simple rules for a school device: -
- Excellent battery life
