The document summarizes a school's shift from a 1:1 laptop program to a BYOD (bring your own device) model. It describes why the school moved to BYOD, including parent preferences for choice of device and ending of funding for 1:1 programs. The school implemented a trial BYOD program in 2013 and fully transitioned middle and high school students to BYOD in 2014. Teachers received training to help students submit work in cross-platform formats and use an LMS. Looking ahead, the school plans to expand BYOD to younger grades, improve infrastructure and content management, and focus their IT strategic plan on student learning outcomes.

The document defines CALL as computer assisted language learning and discusses its history and uses. It provides several definitions of CALL, including using computers to present, reinforce and assess language learning materials, as well as applications designed specifically for language learning. CALL has progressed through behavioral, communicative, and integrative approaches. Reasons for using CALL include increasing access to authentic materials, giving learners more control over their learning, and allowing interaction and feedback from others. Strengths are that CALL is motivating and provides multimedia resources, materials, and opportunities for communication, while weaknesses include less portable equipment, increased costs, need for training, and imperfect programs.

Developing digital fluency in primary school focuses on building skills in areas like literacy, numeracy, creativity and experimentation using technologies. Teachers need familiarity with the resources they use and skills should be specific. Students are considered technology beginners and activities aim to develop skills in creating digital content, innovating with technology, and becoming digitally fluent learners. Basic skills like word processing, use of spreadsheets and advanced web searching are expected, as well as familiarity with programs for creating videos and podcasts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
