Kings' School Nad Al Sheba

Use of technology forms an integral part of teaching and learning at Kings’. This is reflective of the 21st century where we interact with technology on a daily basis. Within a typical classroom at Kings’, student learning is supported using a range of technology mediums from height adjustable interactive boards which students interact with directly, to Elmo document cameras and Apple TVs used to showcase and celebrate learning. Permanent student laptops are available in each classroom for students to log on with their individual logins in order to complete a set task or to research further an interesting question that has been raised within the lesson. In addition, IT rooms, laptop trolleys and iPad trolleys all allow easy and timely access to technology when it is needed to further learning. Each teacher in school is provided with an iPad in order to exploit the benefits offered by educational apps. Class and trolley iPads are used to add an extra dimension to learning, both through use of educational apps and through productivity tools to support in areas such as mind mapping, annotation and presentation. The school's Year 4-6 students take part in the 1:1 iPad programme which enables them to bring their own device to school, loaded with recommended apps and connected to the Google Apps for Education environment: this programme offers students a safe and varied platform on which to learn about online collaboration and effective use of technology.

The school offers wide range of activities which cover sports, music, sciences and the arts, as well as computing. The activities change termly.
