At Redwoodtown School, e-learning is an integral part of how we engage, inspire, and empower our ākonga to become confident, connected, and actively involved digital citizens. We use technology to enhance learning across the curriculum, supporting creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
Our classrooms are equipped with a range of digital tools, including iPads, Chromebooks, and interactive screens, which allow students to access rich, meaningful learning experiences. Students from Years 3 to 8 are provided with individual Google Accounts, enabling them to access Google Workspace tools such as Docs, Slides, and Drive to support their learning. These platforms also allow students to collaborate online, share their learning, and receive timely feedback.
Digital citizenship and online safety are explicitly taught, ensuring students learn how to use technology responsibly and ethically. E-learning supports both independent and collaborative learning, and our teachers thoughtfully integrate digital tools to support differentiation, innovation, and student agency.
We are committed to preparing our learners for a rapidly changing world by developing their digital fluency and confidence in using technology to learn, create, and communicate.
Google Apps:
Students in Years 3–8 have their own individual Google accounts, which they use as part of becoming confident and responsible Digital Citizens.
These accounts allow students to create, edit, and share documents in real time, supporting collaboration and communication both in class and from home. They can write blogs, send and receive emails, and access their digital learning environment from any device.
With the ability to personalise their learning, students can use tools such as Google Voice Typing and Read&Write for Google to support their understanding and make learning more accessible. Having individual logins empowers our learners to take greater ownership of their learning journey in a safe and supported environment.
