At Melton FLO, developing each student’s potential and ability to the fullest is strengthened by the integration of digital technologies as educational tools. Digital learning devices provide opportunities for differentiation and accommodating varying student learning styles and needs. Also providing the development of essential learning skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity and problem-solving, enhancing student learning.
Melton FLO students are provided with a device for use at school at the CaLM campus, and FLIP students are provided with a Chromebook to use at home and the library to engage in their learning program.
Every classroom at the CaLM campus is equipped with interactive whiteboards, and has a classroom set of computers assigned to each student.
