Every Tuesday in Stage 5, students are given the opportunity to spend some time engaged in quiet reading. They are required to bring a novel that interests them. For those that didn’t last week, they were given one more week’s grace to remember and provided with an alternative task. These students were given an assortment of visual stimuli related largely to how technology affects our lives in various ways and they were asked to provide a reflection on these. Here at IFS, our students are fortunate enough to be provided with access to an abundance of technology and it was interesting to note that many students recognised the influence of technology on our lives, but did not agree that it was always negative. Students made some valuable points about the potential benefits of technology in the learning environment and it was great to see them thinking about how it can be used most effectively.
