Digital Pets at Ashwood School, Victoria
A typical class size at Ashwood is between 10–12 students, with a range of abilities and splinter skills across all learning areas of the curriculum. Most students find abstract concepts challenging, so we support learning through the use of carefully selected concrete materials and visual aids. To ensure that all students can access the Digital Technologies curriculum, we need teaching resources that are both intuitive and that cater to a range of abilities.
