School is currently exploring use of iPad for Assessment. Currently, they have online quiz and they are using google docs for homework and small tests. The school conducts talks for parents and pupils on the responsible use of ICT.

Pupils' experiences:
Pupils reflected that there is now greater efficiency in getting information for projects. The novelty of owning an iPad wears off after some time as everyone in the the school has one. The distraction was only during the initial weeks and wears off quickly. If they are caught playing games in class, their iPad will be confiscated.
