CIS follows the Alberta Learning Guide and the Learning and Technology Policy Framework. According to this framework, the use of technology in schools is encouraged to support students to become engaged thinkers and ethical citizens, with an entrepreneurial spirit. However, it is crucial that technology is used responsibly and consciously. In order to help students’ build this consciousness and sense of responsibility when using Electronic Communication Devices (ECD) and to protect students’ health and well-being, students adhere to the CIS ECD Policy and Procedures.

广州加拿大外籍人员子女学校（以下简称“CIS”）遵循艾伯塔省学习指南和学习及技术政策框架。据此，CIS鼓励校内使用科技，以支持学生成为具有企业家精神的积极思考者和有道德的公民。正确并负责任地使用电子通讯设备是至关重要的。为了培养学生正确使用电子通讯设备的意识和责任感，并保护学生的身心健康，我们制定了本电子通讯设备（以下简称“ECD”）使用公约。

CIS encourages students to use electronic communication devices to enhance learning and support the building of core competencies. However, using ECD at CIS is a privilege, and like all privileges, rules must apply so that results can be achieved. At CIS, our teachers are trained to keep up with the future of technology and change our old mindsets into an open one towards innovation.

CIS鼓励学生使用电子通信设备来加强学习并支持核心能力的培养。但是，在CIS使用ECD是一种特权，与所有特权一样，必须应用规则才能取得成果。在CIS，我们的教师接受了培训，以跟上技术的未来，并将我们的旧思维转变为面向创新的开放思维。

Technology will never replace great teachers, but in the hands of great teachers, it’s transformational.

– George Couros

技术永远不会取代伟大的教师，但在伟大的教师手中，它是变革性的。

– 乔治·库罗斯

From PreK2 to Grade 12, students are only allowed to use technology if they follow the rules. Simply put, students are allowed to bring personal electronic communication devices such as tablets, iPads, laptops, smart watches or smart phones ONLY if it’s for academic communication or other relevant purposes. 

电子通讯设备的种类。除老师指引且家长的许可外，学生不允许带除电话手表以外的所有个人电子通讯设备返校。仅当用于学术交流或其他相关目的时，CIS允许年龄较大的学生携带个人电子设备，如平板电脑、iPad、笔记本电脑、智能手表或智能手机）。

When using technology for academic purposes, the learning outcomes must be explicitly announced by the teacher/s and must include relevant learning-based activities, examples of which range from internet-based research, email, image search, translation or other clear and teacher-directed uses. If there is no clear purpose, students’ electronic communication devices will be handed to the teacher once students enter the classroom.

老师会清晰告知学生电子通讯设备用于教学目的，包括以学习为基础的相关活动，例如网上搜索、电子邮件、图片搜索或其他清晰指引的或由老师引导的用途。当个人电子通讯设备不用于教学或翻译时，学生须进入教室时将其交给老师。

Timing also matters. As role models to younger students, secondary students are allowed to use cell phones for personal purposes at designated times, in designated places. Personal usage during any other school time period (including time between classes) is not allowed and requires explicit permission from the teachers. Regulation is key here, and if rules are not followed, there are clear consequences. 

同样的，时机也重要。作为低年级学生的榜样，中学生可以在指定时间、指定地点使用手机用于个人目的。不允许在任何其他学校时间段（包括课间时间）进行个人使用，并且需要得到教师的明确许可。监管在这里是关键，如果不遵守规则，就会产生明显的后果。 

Now, you may be wondering, why not just ban ECD? Everyone else seems to be doing it! Well, in the wise words of John Dewey, ““If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” In this day and age of rapid technological change, technology can improve our quality of life.  If we put a blanket ban on technology, we will not give our students the ability to learn about our new world and improve how it works. Technology provides us with a wealth of data and insight. 

现在，您可能想知道为什么不直接禁止 ECD？其他人似乎都在这样做。用约翰·杜威 (John Dewey) 的话来说，“如果我们今天像昨天教一样教，我们就是在抢夺我们明天的孩子。” 在这个科技日新月异的时代，科技可以改善我们的生活质量。如果我们全面禁止技术，我们将不会让我们的学生有能力了解我们的新世界并改善其运作方式。技术为我们提供了丰富的数据和洞察力。

However, technology can also be distracting at times, which demands of us that we must be more responsible in our management and use of technology.

然而，技术有时也会让人分散注意力，这要求我们在管理和使用技术时必须更加负责。

This year, CIS students and parents have all read and signed the ECD policy. 

今年，CIS学生和家长都已经阅读并签署了ECD政策。

CIS has clear structures and frameworks so that all technology users at CIS can develop a healthy and safe relationship with technology.

CIS 具有清晰的结构和框架，因此 CIS 的所有技术用户都可以与技术建立健康、安全的关系。

Moreover, CIS is keen to promote healthy living and an active lifestyle, even with technology surrounding us. One way that CIS does this is through our Intramurals Program. At CIS, lunch times are now extended to one hour for Middle and High School students. The purpose of our Intramurals Program is to further develop our athletics program by running a structured opportunity to practice game and movement, and develop sports skills in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Intramurals will be linked to athletics; for example, we will start with HS volleyball and MS soccer as those are sports that we play in season one. Different intramurals will be offered throughout the year. Intramurals are fun, inclusive and for everyone, and they will get everyone off their phones too!

此外，CIS 热衷于促进健康的生活和积极的生活方式，即使周围技术为我们提供了极大的便捷。CIS 这样做的一种方式是通过我们的校内计划。由于管理需要，午餐时间现将延长1个小时。这将使我们通过运行现代和结构化的校内计划，来进一步发展我们的体育计划。我们校内项目的目的是通过提供结构化的机会来练习游戏和运动，并在有趣、安全和包容的环境中培养运动技能，从而进一步发展我们的体育项目。校内将与田径运动联系起来；例如，我们将从 HS 排球和 MS 足球开始，因为这些是我们在第一赛季进行的运动。全年将提供不同的校内活动。校内活动很有趣、很包容，也适合每个人，进而让每个人都放下手机参与其中！

Top Tips and Conversation Starters to Encourage Responsible Use of Technology.

鼓励负责任地使用技术的重要提示。

CIS spoke to our very own Vice Principal of Secondary and STEAM Lead, Mr. Ted Barks, as to how we can all be responsible technology users at CIS. Here are Mr. Barks’ 5 tips!

在与我们自己的中学副校长兼 STEAM 负责人 Ted Barks 先生交谈后，我们了解到如何在 CIS 中成为负责任的技术用户。这是Barks 先生提供的 5 个小贴士！

• Technology is a part of all our lives, and it’s here to stay! We must recognize that having technology at school is a privilege. That means sticking to the rules you set up for its use. Remember, rules are there to help you, not hinder you! 

• 技术是我们生活的一部分。我们必须认识到在学校拥有技术是一种特权。这意味着您需要遵守电子通讯设备使用设置的规则。记住，规则是为了帮助你，而不是阻碍你。

• Be careful how you use technology, and always use it with purpose. Teachers are here to guide you with this, and respecting its purpose is vital! At CIS, we use technology to learn. If it is not for learning, or if it hurts or embarrasses others, avoid it. 

• 谨慎使用技术，并始终有意识地使用它。老师会在这里指导您，尊重其目的至关重要！在 CIS，我们使用电子通讯设备来学习。如果不是为了学习，或者如果它伤害或使他人难堪，请避免这种情况。

• Technology can be excellent for building relationships, making connections and fostering a sense of community at CIS. But as a responsible user, we must know when and how to use it, and these include managing online friendships and setting boundaries. Ask teachers and parents for help if you are not sure. 

• 技术非常适用于 CIS 建立关系、建立联系和培养社区意识。但作为负责任的用户，我们必须知道何时以及如何使用它，其中包括管理在线友谊和设置界限。如果您不确定，请向老师和家长寻求帮助。

• What we practice at school should also be practiced at home. If there are rules at CIS for use of technology, then these rules should be followed at home too. CIS urges parents to also monitor their child’s online activities at home just as we do here at school, and to have important discussions with them if you think that boundaries are being crossed. We are partners in your child’s education. 

• 在家与在校的技术使用应保持一致。如果 CIS 有使用技术的规则，那么这些规则也适用于学生在家。CIS 敦促家长也像我们在学校一样监控孩子在家中的在线活动。在您认为电子通讯设备越界时，与他们进行重要讨论。我们是您孩子教育的合作伙伴。
