| Hi-tech beginning for class of 2012 |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| WHEN Neve Wallington and her friends walk into kindergarten for the first time on Monday they will be stepping into a world of learning that would have been science fiction just a generation ago. Laptops, iPads, computerised whiteboards and giant video screens are just part of the hi-tech arsenal to prepare four-year-old Neve and an estimated 66,000 other NSW kindergarten students for life beyond school. In all, 767,000 students -- including those starting kindergarten --will return to school next week. Ashbury Public School principal Sue Shelley, a teacher with more than 30-years experience, said that, while literacy and numeracy were still a school's core business, technology played a greater role than ever before. |
