Using Technology in Learning

Our school is oriented toward the future. We believe that it is our duty to try and make the whole world available to our students. Because the majority of our students are very competent when it comes to using computers and the internet, we have succeeded in creating valuable opportunities to establish learning through technology. We had the privilege of being the first school to which trainers from the British Council headed two weeks ago and gave our grade five and six students a training session on how to use the educational and at the same time entertaining website that was created by the British Council: Go4english.com Students explored the website, played a number of its educational games, listened to stories, and sang songs. Instant feedbacks showed their interest in using the website on their own at home. Each student also received a bag which included many items from the British Council. We really appreciate all the assessments and work done by the British Council, and we will effectively take advantage of it in order to have a more fruitful year.
