Why the iPad?
The Victorian government school system are proud of our internationally recognised digital learning achievements. The iPads for Learning trial is no exception.
Through the iPads for Learning trial we worked with Apple to test the value of the iPad, and the applications it can access as an additional opportunity to engage students and to improve their educational attainment.
The feedback from participating schools was overwhelmingly positive. This feedback has inspired us to continue to find new ways of personalising learning for our students in a way that is meaningful and engaging. We encourage you to do the same and share your experiences with others. After all, a little inspiration goes a long way.
