Introduction

How do Chromebooks enhance learning at Glyn School?

The following are examples of how students` learning is enhanced:

• Create, share and collaborate using the Google suite tools to increase the potential of peer assessment and collaborative learning approaches

• Organise Homework and classwork through Google Classroom allowing easy access

• Use excellent learning resources from our web based tools, including up to date and relevant e-textbooks, where appropriate

• Use digital tools to support research and writing.  For example, academic bibliography and citation tools, read aloud and voice recognition tools to promote independent learning

• Think and behave creatively across their subjects using Cloud Apps for design, planning, animation, mind-mapping, image editing, sound editing, video recording, etc

• Use subject related Apps in the classroom and at home

• Greater opportunities of differentiation within the class to meet students` needs

• Effective assessment for learning in and out of the lesson to both redirect the lesson and aid long term planning based on students` learning
