Kalinda prides itself on being known as one of the leading schools in Australia in the use of Information Technology to support teaching and learning.
Kalinda Primary School has been involved in a number of Federal Government initiatives to assist teachers and school leaders across the nation to integrate technology more effectively into their practice.
Developments in technology necessarily impact on WHAT students need to learn and HOW they can be supported to learn it most effectively. Technology develops rapidly, and so best practice in education changes rapidly with it.
At Kalinda we are committed to ensuring our students are equipped with up to date tools and devices, but also to ensure that the way we present the curriculum best meets their needs as 21st-century learners.
Technology is seamlessly integrated into everyday classroom work, just as it seamlessly integrates into the work of any individual at home or in the workplace. ChromeBook laptops and iPads are the main tools at use. Every year level has equal access to devices and most days our students are putting them to use in at least one subject area.
We are fortunate enough to use the Google Suite of apps at Kalinda for our students to create, display, communicate and store their work. Our students can present their work using apps such as Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, as well as make and maintain their own webpages and email accounts. We believe that using these tools in our school better equips our students to thrive in an ever-developing world.
