Information Learning Technology
At Scotch we believe learning and teaching with technology should be personal, connected, creative
and collaborative. Transformational learning and teaching are core to the experience at Scotch College Middle School and our program offers students the opportunity to develop 21st century skills and capabilities with iPad.
The implementation of Apple iPads throughout the Middle School has encouraged an important shift in teaching and learning practices which are continuously evolving with new and improved technological innovations to allow for equity of access, shared purpose, discovery, inquiry, creation and personalisation of the learning pathway.
As students transition into the Middle Years at Scotch College, the emphasis on agency and self-management skills in the use of digital technology become the focus for learning. This is a critical time for your child to develop habits of mind in relation to organisation and balance.
As part of their daily practice, students utilise SEQTA Learn, a Learning Management System that contains important daily information about timetables, courses and assessments. This is complemented by SEQTA Engage for parents and guardians.
Your son will be given opportunities to develop his skills and understandings in using a variety of software applications including Office365, Apple iWork and Adobe Creative Cloud. Microsoft OneNote and Apple Classwork platforms are used extensively across many of the classes for distribution of class materials and opportunities for collaboration in online environments.

Frequently Asked Questions regarding the use of technology in Middle School can be found in the Middle School Handbook online: https://home.scotch.wa.edu.au/middle-school/technology/.
