Digital Technology at Buderim Mountain State School
Buderim Mountain State School enriches 21st century education delivery through the use of technology in all classrooms across the school. We offer a 1:1 Laptop program in Year 5 & 6, which assists to promote the intentional use of digital technology to enhance pedagogy, facilitate the creation and sharing of knowledge and allow for additional opportunities to differentiate learning for all students. Buderim Mountain State School strongly believes that students must be exposed to a balance between learning with technology and traditional methods; including pen and paper. Our BYOD program ensures that students continue to use pen and paper, be involved in hands-on learning and be engaged in collaborative classroom discussions with their teachers and peers, as well as using technology in their day-to-day learning.
The use of a laptop and other technologies:
- Enhances independence and self-initiated learning among students
- Extends student learning beyond the classroom
- Promotes the development of 21st Century teaching and learning
- Enables the delivery of ICT as an Australian Curriculum general capability
Please refer to our Information and Procedures Handbook to access a comprehensive overview of the program.
