2011-2012  The general principle of infusion is use technology within the classroom setting to enhance both teaching and learning. It is a project-based focus, centered around current curriculum (no special ideas need to be planned for) and has 3 goals in mind ... think, create, share! The entire school in Viscount jumped on the infusion train and continue to creat fantastic digital learning projects that enhanced their learning and new media literacy skills. Clearly the students enjoyed the time and have much to celebrate! Here is a brief description of what each grade and class has done.
