Use of technology in the classroom |
At KGV, Learning Technology will enable, enrich, enhance and transform learning opportunities for students.

KGV believes that one to one learning is the key to achieving this vision as it allows teachers to more fully engage students in the learning process. Furthermore, KGV will be empowering students to learn using 21st Century methods. The students will be enabled to collaborate and compete in a global society which requires that they be technologically astute.
