The teaching of Digital Technology skills is integrated into all key learning areas. Students have access to contemporary technologies to support their learning anywhere, anytime, anyhow. Our approach focuses on connective pedagogies which encourages students to be connected to the rest of the world as they learn. We aim to:
- explicitly teach the skills of investigating, creating, communicating, collaborating and organising using digital technologies
- develop confidence and a sense of enjoyment in using technology for different purposes
- develop an appreciation of the responsible, legal and ethical use of information resulting in responsible digital citizens
- support inquiry as students engage in building understandings that contribute to their success as life-long learners in the digital age
Our resources include:
- iPads and Chromebooks: Available across the school, these devices support a wide range of educational apps and online resources, enabling personalized and interactive learning experiences.
- Robotics: Our collection includes BeeBots, Spheros, Ozobots, and MicroBits, which help students learn coding, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through hands-on activities.
- Interactive Whiteboards and Smartboards: These tools enhance classroom engagement and collaboration, allowing teachers to deliver dynamic lessons and students to interact with digital content.
- Coding and Programming Software: Platforms like Scratch, and Grok are used to teach students the fundamentals of coding and computational thinking.
- Online Learning Platforms: Access to a variety of educational websites and platforms that offer interactive lessons, quizzes, and activities to reinforce learning.
Students have access to a wide range of up-to-date and engaging learning programs, ensuring they are well-equipped for the digital age.
