| Use of technology in the classroom |
Having its own Department of Pedagogical Innovation (DIP) facilitates the analysis of all the technological and methodological innovations to implement them in our classrooms and, in turn, give curricular weight to the development of the computational language so necessary in this society. Teachers are creators of content and enhance the relationship that our students have innately established with technologies, making them protagonists of their own learning, getting them to think, believe and question themselves in a current and motivating way.This year and, thanks to the union and homogeneity of the educational project that exists in all Brains schools, Apple has granted the Apple Distinguished School distinction and certification to the entire Institution, being one of the first in the world to obtain such recognition. |
