Primary School Technology
Technology plays an integral role in learning areas across all curriculum areas as it is used as a tool to augment learning. Throughout Foundation to Grade 5, students are immersed in a range of technology-focused learning opportunities that complement and enhance their students learning experience. They explicitly learn new ways to utilize technology to create, represent, investigate, problem solve, understand, communicate and collaborate. Teachers create a range of opportunities for students to explore, apply and extend ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills and knowledge in dedicated Technology classes and all other subject areas. Students are required to, and supported in, thinking critically and creatively as they analyze, validate the information and solve real-life problems within their learning environment and the local community. Teachers model positive online interactions as Digital Agents by modeling empathy and kindness through the use of digital tools to promote positive digital citizenship with all learners. Students practice safe and ethical protocols when using technology as they develop a healthy and responsible approach on their journey to become competent digital citizens now and into the future.
