DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Technology is changing fast and our education system needs to grow and adapt with it.
We are changing how we equip our children and young people to participate, create, and thrive in this fast-evolving digital world.
Digital Technologies in the National Curriculum
The Technology learning area has been revised to strengthen the positioning of digital technologies in the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. This is for all students from year 1–13. Students have the opportunity to specialise from year 11–13.
The goal of this change is to ensure that all learners have the opportunity to become digitally capable individuals.
The change provides a greater focus on students building their skills so they can be innovative creators of digital solutions, moving beyond solely being users and consumers of digital technologies.
At Kai Iwi School all students have access to digital devices.
Our senior students use Chrome books and our junior classes have a shared stock of ipads.
We adhere to strict polices and procedures around Responsible Use of Digital Devices.
