| Use of technology in the classroom |
Our vision regarding technology is to provide every student with the digital competencies that prepare them for the ever-changing world that we live in. We create a culture where everyone embraces new ideas and technologies. We guide young adults to become principled digital citizens. Avenor College has developed the “ Bring Your Own Device” program in the belief that this is a suitable way for the school to provide teachers and students opportunities to extend and enrich learning by: shifting instruction towards more engaging, autonomous, student-centered learning where inquiry and authentic learning are emphasized (Skill Based); focusing on 21st Century Learning, including critical and creative thinking, collaboration, communication, self-direction, and global and cultural awareness; using online learning tools and digital content. When used during class time, devices can and will do more than substitute learning tasks that can be equally done offline – they will be used for tasks where technology enhances learning and offers appropriate challenge, differentiation or/and personalisation. The use of technology opens the door for student’s voice, choice and agency, promotes independent thinking and increases motivation. |
| Is the school ready to use virtual classrooms when needed? (e.g. teaching lessons online during emergencies) |
At Avenor, we co-create the best future for and with our students. Being future-ready is one of the characteristics of the Portrait of the Avenor Learner and no one can imagine a future without technology.
