The world is not the same as it was 15, 10, 5 or even 1 year ago. This is a fact. The digital world in which our children exist is changing the way children think.

Today’s learners are not the same

learners that schools were

originally designed for.

Ian Jukes

Children learn in a variety of ways.

What do we believe?

What do we believe?•All students can learn, and do so in a variety of ways.


•Meaningful educational technology integration is an

essential element to learning in the 21st Century.




•Effective teacher up skilling is important in raising

competencies for all stakeholders.






•Technology is a tool that is ONE part of a quality learning

process.







process.

•Other effective teaching strategies need to work in

conjunction with technology.

•Other effective teaching strategies need to work in

conjunction with technology.

•iPads are not a substitute for tools we are already using; they are a tool that can be used when they allow for

outcomes to achieved in ways not previously possible.

Effective teachers don’t take students to a

destination. They provide them with the tools to get

there on their own.

Technology

Our School ICT VisionOur Lady of the Cape Primary School endeavours to

provide all staff and students with the skills, tools and

mind set to achieve success in a rapidly changing

technological and information rich world. We aim to

develop our staff, students and parents into responsible

digital citizens who are able to interact collaboratively as members of the connected global

community. By integrating information and

communication technologies into all areas of the

Australian Curriculum we aim to provide powerful and effective tools to engage students, empower

teachers and involve parents in developing

lifelong learners.

self directed learning?



• Would there be an ⬆ in student motivation and

active engagement in learning?





• Would teachers be better able to plan for and meet individual student needs? 📝 🎯

What did we learn?

What did we learn?• The iPad as device has functionality and features that enhance its use

as an effective and engaging learning tool.



• Students agreed that learning was more fun.




• Teachers observed marked improvements in engagement, motivation, collaborative learning skills and creativity.





• Teachers are able to more easily meet individual learning needs.






• Learning is able to be extended beyond the classroom.

• 21st Century skills are enhanced.

• Teaching and learning success with the iPads depends on a supportive

school and home environment.

• The trial has shown that the outcomes we

set out to investigate could all be

achieved through the use of iPads...

• But importantly, it's the quality of the

teaching and support that makes this

possible, not just the devices.

So what makes the iPad the device of

choice?

Questions?

Here at OLC we appreciate the genuine concern of some parents regarding the negative impact of excessive screen time. Finding the right

combination of online and traditional teaching and learning tools to meet the broad array of learning styles remains one of the greatest

challenges in today’s teaching environment. As a staff we highly value the importance of teaching tools and techniques such as guided questioning,

discussions, explanations, excursions, incursions, group work, role playing, debate, pencils, paper and books. All of these tools and the skills

that are developed in using them are considered fundamental in developing your child as a learner. We believe technology should only be used when outcomes can be effectively enhanced through the use of the

technology, or where technology can help a teacher better address student learning needs. Only a continuous assessment of learning and teaching styles and of technological tools including the iPad will help to

appropriately address these issues and best meet student learning needs. As a staff we are committed to maintaining that assessment, and to

ensuring a balanced teaching and learning approach. We believe that in a world where lifelong learning is essential for students’ long-term success, only students who experience learning in positive and balanced learning

environments are likely to continue their journeys toward becoming successful lifelong learners.
