iClasses (established 2010)

 

What are our iClasses?

(also known as a ‘digitally enhanced classroom’)


  1. they are environments where ‘digital natives’ can use the

  2. tools they are familiar with.

  3. where ICT is fully integrated into the curriculum on a

  4. full time basis.

  5. where students learn through the use of ICT equipment.

  6. and are challenged using higher order tasks.

  7. where there are authentic opportunities to create, problem solve, think

  8. critically and process information to meet research needs.

  9. the classroom fosters cooperation, self-management skills and is learner-

  10. directed.

  11. reporting to parents’ procedures are the same as for the rest of the school though we do consider that ‘electronic portfolios’ are likely to be more appropriate in the future.


  1. the three Rs continue to be of prime importance.

  2. students enjoy their education totally.

  3. all units of work mirror planning used across

  4. the school.

                                   Equipment

The iClasses are equipped with modern apple computers - a balance between desktop and laptop - and is supported by the necessary technologies. Students have access to their own email and managed broadband internet.
