Technology

Technology is a part of every learning environment here at Wagga Wagga Christian College.

The College is constantly growing and adapting to aid teaching and learning as we seek to equip students for life.

  • Students and teachers form a partnership within a learning community. There are responsibilities on both sides, using technology to strengthen and improve the teacher/student relationship in learning.
  • The use of information technology should be based around respect. Technology (equipment, information, enquiry, and communication) is to be used as a respectful servant, not a tool for hurt and harm.
  • Technology is one of a number of valuable resources used in teaching. The balanced approach to learning works with all resources and allows them to complement one another.

Tech Hub

The College Tech Hub works to continue technology delivery in such a way to ensure the best educational outcome for students and teaching staff.

We can help you login to College websites and tools, reset passwords, help guide you to courses and tools, review hardware issues, etc.

At the Tech Hub you will find charging ports for ACER Laptops, Lenovo Laptops, and USB C Generic Chargers. These will be available before school or at recess and lunchtimes.

The Tech Hub can be found next to the Computer Room in the Library Building.

Parents can contact IT during College hours on (02) 6923 8890.

Platforms

Canvas

Canvas is an online platform which serves the student and teacher in their online learning experience. Canvas allows for input of information by both the teachers and students, it offers a means of communication and assessment.

Clickview is a Video Learning application that allows teachers and students to access curriculum related video material to assist with their teaching and learning. It works in a similar fashion to YouTube, in that users can upload video or audio material. Access to ClickView is now streamlined so that Year 7 to 12 students at the College can use their standard student username and password for immediate access.

Compass is our student management system.

MS Teams is a collaboration and online meeting space allowing video and audio conferencing, live chat, live documents etc. Teachers and students can work collectively on materials in real time.

Seesaw is an online platform available for all Preschool and Primary School families which allows connection between teachers, parents and students. Each family has a unique code for their children in Primary School to access this platform. A great way to stay in contact with your class community. If you do not have your login details please contact your class teacher.

Technology is not neutral. It can be a wonderful enhancement or a crippling distraction to learning. At its best Technology can be used to help us better understand God’s creation and solve problems in the world, at it’s worst it can be used for destruction and evil. We want to help form our students into wise, discerning users of technology.
