Every classroom at Clarkson Community High School can be used as a computer lab after every Year 10, 11 and 12 student received a laptop as part of a Federal Government program.

Each student received a laptop, which they can take home and use at school as part of the (Digital) Education Revolution program.

Clarkson head of technology John Keyworth said every student having a laptop, combined with the school’s wireless network, meant every classroom in the school was now the equivalent of a computer lab.

“It’s fantastic; the school has bought every teacher a laptop as well, which means they can design (online) courses” he said.

“We have created an online learning system which students, teachers and parents can all access.

“We have been running training sessions for staff members as well.”
