INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ICT)

​​Giving our students the skills to use and to be critical users of advanced technology is very important to us. One of our major focuses at Delacombe Primary School is the effective integration of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) into every classroom.

​

Our foundation to grade two classes have a bank of iPads in every classroom for use in their learning activities.

Grade three to Grade six students utilise one-to-one Chromebooks in the classroom to organise and enhance their learning.​

​

Every classroom also has an interactive whiteboard to connect to the devices within the room to allow for easy viewing, sharing and collaboration of student and teacher work.

 

Delacombe Primary School also has a dedicated Digital Technology curriculum (Digitech) where students have access to a range of tools and technologies to enhance their learning.

Our Digitech curriculum covers skills and understandings such as:

​

  • Cybersafe

  • Data Collection and Manipulation

  • How Computers Work

  • Coding – offline coding, block coding and coding external devices

  • Website and Interface Design

  • 3D Printing and Design

  • Collaborating in Virtual Environments

 

We believe that giving our students the skills to create and manipulate digital environments will open many more opportunities for them in the future.

CYBER SAFETY

​​​

We currently dedicate a term of every school year to developing our students’ understandings of Cybersafety.

 

Our students’ safety in the real and digital world is of utmost importance to Delacombe Primary School and we endeavour to give them the skills they will need to navigate through the world outside of our school gates.

 

We use activities and resources from CommonSense Media and Nearpod to cover such issues as:

  • Private and Personal Information

  • Secure Password Creation

  • What is a Digital Footprint?

  • Cyberbullying – It’s everyone’s responsibility

  • Do You Know Who You’re Talking To?

  • Finding Credible News

 

We also address the importance of balancing media and screen time in our lives. We strongly believe that, without balance, over-exposure to digital media could be detrimental to our students’ social and emotional development.

 

For more information about our Cybersafety curriculum you can visit the CommonSense Media website or contact our school.
