Information technology

At The Codrington School we are aware of the need to complement our academic programme with knowledge in information and communication technologies. We are constantly in the process of updating our hardware and software, and have a computer lab with sixteen desktops and five laptop computers. We also have computers in every classroom.

The school’s position may be summarized as follows:

ICT [Information and Communication Technologies] provides opportunities for the enhancement of learning, and may significantly support students in their inquiries, and in developing their conceptual understanding. It is best considered as a tool for learning, albeit with its own set of skills, as opposed to an additional subject area. ICT skills should be developed and learned in order to support the needs of individual learners in their inquiries. {From “Making the PYP Happen”}

Laptop Computers

The use of laptop computers in school is an issue of much discussion at the present time. We are not yet ready to mandate the use of laptops in the secondary division of the school; but that will come within three years. In the meantime, if a student wishes to use a laptop he/she may do so – but the student will be personally responsible for the security of the laptop.
