Digital Learning at Kallangur State School
Kallangur State School is committed to integrating technology throughout our curriculum to enhance and support individualized learning outcomes. We have expanded our digital programs school-wide, moving beyond specific classrooms to ensure all students benefit from this initiative.
One-to-One iPad Program
We provide a one-to-one iPad program where each student has access to their own device. Additionally, year-level sets of iPads are available for collaborative use across all grades. This program aims to foster high-quality teaching and learning within a digital environment, encouraging students to explore, create, problem-solve, evaluate, and innovate in a connected world.
Purposeful Integration of Technology
Digital technology is actively utilized throughout the school in ways that are purposeful and engaging, deeply embedded in our curriculum. Access to iPads and other digital tools enhances teaching practices and maximizes student learning outcomes. Our iPad program empowers students to access information and tools that enable them to transform their learning experiences and share their work in the modern digital landscape.
Diverse Learning Applications
Students will use their devices for a variety of purposes across all stages of learning, including planning, researching, applying and deepening knowledge, reflecting, evaluating, and sharing their insights. While technology plays a crucial role in their education, we emphasize the importance of traditional literacy skills, ensuring that devices are used to enrich, not replace, fundamental learning experiences.
Alignment with Digital Strategy
Our program aligns with the Department of Education’s Digital Strategy, which aims to improve educational outcomes through high-quality, cost-effective, and contemporary ICT solutions. This strategy encourages schools to "Engage Minds and Empower Futures," and we believe our iPad program successfully meets these objectives.
At Kallangur State School, we are dedicated to equipping our students with the skills they need to thrive in a digital world, fostering creativity and innovation at every stage of their learning journey.
Why iPads?
iPads have been selected as our device of choice for our
ongoing program as they are very accessible for our students, are very durable,
and do not present a security risk to our network infrastructure. Wireless access to DET’s filtered Managed
Internet Service is possible ensuring excellent security for students and
seamless integration with existing network processes. A wide range of versatile
apps are available to support all areas of curriculum. Students are able to
create a diverse range of high quality digital content with the apps
available. IPads are also suitable for
younger students as there are no frustrating login problems with them - one
swipe and it is on and ready to use. The
devices are also mobile, being lightweight and portable.
