mLearning:
The ‘m’ in mLearning stands for mobile. mLearning is learning anywhere at anytime and focuses on the mobility of the learner interacting with portable technologies. Students use mobile tools for creating, problem solving, innovating and collaborating.
Apple Distingushed School
PSSS has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School for its dynamic learning community that supports learning for today and tomorrow through the implementation of technology. We have documented our journey in a multi-touch book which can be downloaded from Apple Books. We encourage families to take a look and leave a review. This is the work of our teachers and students each day - we are super proud!
iPad options:
As part of the mLearning Program, students are given the opportunity to access an iPad to support their learning. There are three different pathways for this to happen:
- Bring your Own (BYO) - Students are invited to bring a privately owned iPad to school to support learning
- Hire a school iPad - Students can apply to hire a school owned device for the year. Students can take the device home during term time to support learning.
- Use a classroom iPad - Students can access a shared class device during the school day to support learning
At Peregian Springs State School, we use technology and iPads as learning tools that empower students to cultivate 21st-century skills, fostering innovative thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy, while preparing them for the dynamic challenges of tomorrow's learning landscape.
This handbook serves to inform families about the school's guidelines, resources, educational approaches, empowering them to support their children's responsible and effective use of technology, fostering consistency in digital learning practices between school and home environments.
It also provides links to resources and tips to assist with troubleshooting information.
