Some thoughts on technology integration

School management
Technology for technology’s sake is never a good idea. Headteacher Anne Pontifex considers the integration of technology in schools and details some of the ways her staff and students use it.

Technology is now far-reaching, touching almost every part of our everyday lives. It seems almost natural that schools are beginning to develop and implement technology into classrooms and use it in innovative and creative ways. I feel there is a place for technology in every classroom, and when used seamlessly it can make 21st century learning possible.

Like many, our school – St John Bosco Arts College – is just starting to fully explore the potential technology can offer to both students and teachers. We have recently moved in to a new school building and we now find ourselves surrounded by new tools and ideas which years ago seemed almost impossible. What interests me most is how this exciting new technology can be used and how it can have an impact on engagement and enhance learning for the better.
