Welcome to BYOD at Mount Albert Grammar School
Students at Mount Albert Grammar School are required to bring a personal computing device for use in class to support their learning.
The school has reviewed which devices are best suited for our students’ needs and they may bring either a MacBook, a Windows laptop, an iPad with a keyboard or a Chromebook as their digital learning device.
Smartphones are not considered as a suitable main device in the BYOD programme, but can be used in class for educational purposes with teacher approval.
Please feel free to e-mail me if these BYOD pages do not answer your queries.
