At HKIS, we believe that digital devices are an essential component of a student's learning journey. We are committed to developing digital literacy skills within our learning environment through collaboration with classroom and division specialists, as well as the UP TechnologyCoach. To this end, we provide each Upper Primary student with a digital learning device and tools to support and enhance their learning. We require all students to sign a Responsible Use Agreement before granting access to our digital devices and accounts.We embed digital literacy throughout our curriculum and learning experiences, leveraging technology to explore powerful ideas, foster creativity and collaboration, and develop resilience in meeting learning outcomes and personal interest projects. Students learn how to be safe, kind and respectful online through our Digital Citizenship lessons from the Common Sense Media curriculum. Our goals for technology include enhancing student engagement, collaboration within and outside of school, and access to resources, while increasing educator flexibility in curriculum delivery, monitoring of student learning, and fostering collaborative practices. Ultimately, our aim is to ensure that students are ready to use technology effectively to demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills in our rapidly changing world.
