Integration of Technology

This entry is primarily for parents.

One of the important things your child will be doing in grade 3 is Information Technology. Once a week you children will get the opportunity to go into the I.T. lab to learn more about computers and how useful they can be. As the year goes on we’ll also be integrating computers into the classroom. How many of you parents have complained about the fact that your students have to carry large textbooks and your child complains about how heavy they are? Well hopefully we’re coming to a point where that will stop. As part of the school’s project to develop technology in the classroom, your child  will be allowed to use an iPad which will have a section of the textbook in it. If all goes well hopefully we’ll be able to integrate this into the rest of the school and our goal is to one day take out textbooks altogether. This may take some time to implement so please bear with us as we try to sort out the kinks.
