Learning - ICT

At Pinjarra Primary School we're committed to preparing our students.  Every student has access to networked computers and other portable technology as well as interative whiteboards across the school which create an innovative learning environment.  All classes are linked to the interenet and have access to an equiped computer laboratory.  Students have access to a variety of software packages for both educational and leisure purposes.

Smartboards
Interactive smartboards available to teachers and students in each classroom. A smartboard is an electronic whiteboard that teachers can use to present and enhance their learning programs and has many benefits to both teacher and student. Some of these are:

• Learners show increased motivation and enjoy the interaction this technology offers;
• It makes the subject come alive;
• It captures the attention of learners;
• It encourages the involvement of learners in the subject;
• It gives the teacher instant access to a vast array of electronic resources;
• The flexibility and the scope for imaginative lesson planning is huge;
• The board can accommodate different learning styles;
• Students with limited motor skills can enjoy board use;
• It is interactive; and
• It is a kid magnet!
