Digital dreamsThroughout November and December the infrastructure was put in place by the Department of Education’s contractors for 100MB Broadband Access for Stratford
College.

On Friday, 10th January Stratford College switched over to 100MB Broadband Access. This lays the foundations for the challenges of 21st century teaching and learning.

By upgrading to 100MB and by having a state-of-the-art WiFi system throughout the school, teachers and students will be in a position to utilize this technological infrastructure to implement its eLearning programme to its maximum potential. The school’s eLearning programme will utilize mobile devices, Stratford Moodle, ECDL and and eBooks (where free),  amongst other technical advances to help Stratford College students learn 21st century skills.

The next step in advancing the eLearning Programme is to rollout WiFi access to students. The vision for Stratford College is for students and staff to “Bring Your Own Device”. This will enable students to create digital projects  and to do online research as directed by their teachers during class.
