In 2021, Jersey College for Girls, Channel Islands, embarked on a journey regarding their use of technology. Assistant Headteacher for Digital Learning at the College, Miss Ruth Lea, discusses how the Digital Literacy project has resulted in improved learning for all students involved as well as reduced paper consumption.
“Inspired by how the College had turned to technology during the covid lockdown to provide learning to its students, the Digital Literacy project has propelled the College into a new era of how we teach and learn and helped refine our operational and environmental efficiency.
Whilst we had previously tried to engage students with digital tools to make learning more accessible, student engagement had only been limited due to the absence of a dedicated one-to-one device. We also required a ‘Tech Partnership’ between teachers and students to make the most of using technology to enhance learning.”
