| Use of technology in the classroom |
All of the classrooms at the bilingual primary school EIB Monceau are equipped with interactive whiteboards.Students are introduced to digital technology from the start of their school life, through the use of adapted interactive games. The objective of this is to familiarise the pupils with the use of computer tools at the service of our educational programme. During their years at school, students acquire the various digital skills required by the French National Education system. The youngest pupils use 'edutainment' sites and graphic design software as well as programming activities on computers or tablets. From Year 4 (CE2 onwards), pupils are introduced to the keyboard so that by the end of primary school they can use word processing and presentation tools confidently. |
