Purposeful use of technology
Digital tools should have a clear learning purpose: helping a learner understand a concept, practise a skill, investigate a question, create something or communicate learning.
Academics / Learning Technology
Digital learning can extend classroom teaching through carefully selected resources, research, practice, creativity and communication. The exact devices, platforms and connectivity available at the school should be confirmed before publication.
Academic approach
Digital tools should have a clear learning purpose: helping a learner understand a concept, practise a skill, investigate a question, create something or communicate learning.
Learners can progressively develop safe, responsible and confident use of digital tools, including basic information handling, communication, creation and responsible online behaviour.
Where appropriate, teachers can combine direct instruction, books, practical activities, collaborative work and digital resources rather than relying on one method alone.
Parents can support healthy digital habits by encouraging purposeful screen use, discussing online safety and helping children balance digital activities with reading, play, rest and family life.
