One-to-One Student Devices

Technology in ACS

• Junior Cycle Subjects– Coding, Digital Media Literary, Option subjects, Classroom Based Assessments in all subjects
• Transition Year – Robotics, Virtual Reality, DML, Coding
• Leaving Cert – Computer Science

Our students already use their Microsoft Office 365 accounts in their day-to-day classes. Teachers use MS Teams for their course content – students all have a Teams One Note for each subject. In the content library they access the work covered in classes.

In their own class notebook in One Note, they can store information, do homework, take pictures, access videos etc.

The use of one-to-one devices with our 1st and 2nd year students has been a great success. They have:

• Boosted collaboration between students and teachers
• Accommodated different learning styles
• Let students learn at different paces
• Create more variety in 58 minute classes
• Explore students’ creativity
• Given students choice and ownership of their own learning
