Student Privacy
Jindabyne Central School is committed to providing a technology rich environment for our students as our community believes the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is fundamental in assisting teaching and learning in all areas of the school curriculum.
The use of web based learning resources and cloud based storage has risen steadily over the last decade and are increasingly being used by teachers improve student learning outcomes.
Teachers make decisions about the best technology to meet the needs of their students. There are a range of applications provided by the NSW Department of Education that provide secure access to students; however these do not always provide the services required by our teachers and for our students. Sometimes it is beneficial for the student to utilise services provided by third party web based providers.
Types of services provided by these service providers include online content creation, collaborative tools, online educational games and various administrative programs for tracking student assessment data.
Our school wishes to register with a range of web based service providers, which are listed below.
