Introduction
Edge Hill State School provides an
environment that allows students to achieve the best possible educational
outcomes. Students are able to enhance their learning through the
integration of computers into the curriculum and the effective use of
learning technology on a daily basis.
We provide opportunities for our students
to:
- develop a love for learning
- possess the skills to be life-long
learners
- master a solid core of academic
content
- become effective problem-solvers and
decision-makers
- recognize and realize their full
potential, and
- become productive members of
society.
The Edge Hill State School community believes that technology, in its present and future
forms, presents students, teachers and the community with powerful means
to accomplish those aspirations we hold in common. Computers are simply
one of the many tools which can be utilised to achieve specific purposes
and goals. Specifically, we believe that learning technology can support
our broad academic goals by:
- providing timely, unlimited access to data
and information
- enabling and stimulating users to express
their creativity
- facilitating individual learning and
teaching to maximize student success
- providing diverse modes of
communication
- promoting higher-level thinking skills to
solve authentic problems
- promoting learning of basic skills and
content
- providing efficient and cost effective use
of time and resources for management, teaching, and learning
- facilitating the development,
organisation, and presentation of ideas to achieve intended
purposes
- facilitating collaborative learning and
teaching to maximise student success
- promoting the integration of curriculum,
disciplines, instruction, and modes of learning, and
- promoting adult, parent, and community
learning, communication and involvement.
