Information Communication Technology (ICT)
“I can make an electrical circuit, and speech-to-text helps me write the word ‘electricity’ in my research report. Cool.”
At Summit Point, ICT is not an escape... it opens doors and allows kids to demonstrate their knowledge in ways that were unimaginable in the past. In fact, our students handled the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions super well...the screen meetings, the online instructions, and the uploading of their work. See remote learning in a COVID-19 world.
Students learn to navigate their way around Google Classroom and a wide range of cutting-edge software. They actively use their Chromebooks to access learning materials and resources including:
- Epic Books
- Sunshine Online
- Matific Maths
- Google Docs and Slides
- Read/Write
- Storyboard
- Canva
- Speech-to-text tool to assist with writing and brainstorming.
Students also work collaboratively on shared docs and turn in their homework online.
