ISD Primary is committed to the integration of technology as a support and facilitation for better learning. Classrooms have interactive smart boards at adjustable heights for class and group teaching. Tablet-based technology is used for individual and paired work. Discrete IT skills are taught so that the students develop progression in their learning. The inquiry-based approach from PYP is actively enhanced by the use of technology and we encourage the students to see the natural and intrinsic value of learner technologies in everyday life.
