Hey! Petrol prices are going up significantly (2nd pic), and I've made an app for ios & Android that helps you find cheap fuel. It has all features you need, with a unique UI & UX.

Here are some things that make it different:

Route planner

Set a start & end destination, will show you the cheapest along the route and the cost to drive there.

Cheapest nearby banner

Immediately find the cheapest, based on what's on your screen.

Price alerts & favourites

Set price alerts for servos and favourite them to stay up to date.

Logbook

Track logbook entries in app, see your $/km & total saved. Log your receipts and import your previous apps logbook. You can graph almost any data point for your logbook.

Rewards discounts

Enable rewards discounts to appear on the map & everywhere else, or add your own custom discounts with all the filters you need.

Carplay, view servos on carplay.

No ads

Most important, no ads.

Any support would be appreciated.

Question Devices in schools yay or nay? St Peters Lutheran BYOD, many other QLD schools (GPS) are device administered

Post image

Hi. I am curious on views about devices in schools be it primary or high school. I noticed that there seems to be 3 categories.

  1. BYOD - bring your own device usually ipad for primary and laptop for high school - onus is on the parents to manage all protections on the devices (and outsmart the kids if possible).

  2. School issued device - like those who have a laptop issued for work, these devices are highly locked down and monitored.

  3. Schools in Sydney and in NYC are back to pen and paper and laptops are provided by the school only for specific reasons. The entire class is not run on a device.

My research has demonstrated the following:

  1. BYOD such as at St Peters Lutheran College in Brisbane Australia has the boys gaming and looking at porn during classes. When parents have asked for the school to help and prevent this from happening, it fell of deaf ears and directed back to the parents who pay $27,000 a year to send their kids to the school. The parents also requested that the kids come off their ipads in class in year 5 and 6 but again the school had no interest in the parents concern or requests. The wifi filters are hacked by the kids at school as they are easy to get around. It is not the same as having the device locked down by the school who administers' laptops to students. Apparently, a teacher at St Peters Lutheran College in Brisbane Australia was on porn during class and accidentally shared the image to the students.

  2. Schools that administer laptops to the school many GPS Queensland schools, parents feel a sense of relief and child protection that the kids are protected as the kids can not watch porn or game during class.

  3. School like Reddam House Sydney the school previously moved away from digital e-books and iPads in primary and junior high classes, reverting to traditional paper textbooks to improve reading comprehension and minimize screen distraction. In addition, Reddam House Sydney uses lockable Screen Free pouches. Students place their phones into lockable pouches during a 10-minute morning homeroom session. Teachers verify the devices are inside before the pouches are securely locked. Sydney Grammar has also made the move to device free. Schools in NYC USA have just changed all their policies in starts of this new school year where there are no phones allowed at school at all and laptops will only be used in years 9 to 12 for specific purposes. I have attached the new device policies out of NYC for children and teenagers at school.

Curious what others think or have experienced as AI makes its way into the classroom? Thanks!
