Changing Culture: The Impact of iPad Integration on a Lower School Programme

A highly detailed book that curates ACS Hillingdon International School’s educational success stories planning for and implementing their forward thinking 1-to-1 iPad programme, Changing Culture: the transformative impact of iPad integration richly captures and celebrates ACS Hillingdon’s learning culture. Technology at ACS Hillingdon is seen as a complement and enhancement to learning. Through the collaborative sharing of ideas between the teacher and Technology Coach, technology’s great promise lies in its potential to extend and expand student conception and levels of understanding.
 
This book highlights the importance of rooting the basis and rationale for school change on the foundation of a school’s vision and core values. This is especially vital in terms of attaining positive outcomes with the cultural aspect of transformative change. With that as a starting point, ACS Hillingdon found success ensuring that their core learning principles of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity remained the focus throughout the implementation of all phases of their 1-to-1 iPad programme.

ACS Hillingdon is part of the ACS International Schools Group. The collaborative school community brings together 570 students (aged 4 to 18) and 150 staff from over 50 countries.
