eLEARNING REPORT
eLearning and the use of
technology has continued to
develop at OLMC. Laptops
have been integrated into all
areas of the curriculum and
are now a fundamental tool
for learning across all KLAs.
At awholeschool level a range
of technologies have been
utilised including Clickview,
Sentral, and Google for both
administrative and learning
purposes.
Year 7 students began developing their technological
skills with the Mac Bootcamp which was then
supplemented with Information Technology (IT)
sessions in the PLS (Passport to Learning Success
programme).
Google Cloudshare continues to develop as the new
virtual learning environment for OLMC. Cloudshare
allows students and staff to create, share and
collaborate online. Cloudshare is powered by Google
Apps for Education and includes tools such as Google
Mail (gmail), Google Calendar, Picasa, Google Sites
and Google Drive.
Congratulations to our Yr 9 students who came
second in the CEO Psyberfest competition - well
done girls.
The use of technology always brings with it a range
of challenges, so special thanks must go to our IT
support staff - Mr Craig Coates, and Mrs Monica
Maidana who have assisted students and staff with
support for laptops and any other types technology
such as phones, iPads, cameras, printers, projectors,
and software.
