It was identified within our centre that many of our learners, parents and RTVs struggle with keeping up-to-date with technology… that is beginning to change, as we discover the wealth of talent and knowledge of akonga and their support team, who attend our iPad Clubs.
What started 18 months ago as a small group initiative, with akonga sharing and learning about their assistive technology together, has now grown to three very established groups. Ākonga, parent’s and RTV’s teach and learn from each other, in a supportive, safe and stimulating environment.
Student voice determines learner outcomes. Recent outcomes have included how to “green screen” and “stop motion”. But just as importantly, iPad Club gives akonga, the opportunity to work collaboratively with like-minded others and to form friendships and develop socially.
