Putting Boundaries in Place to Support Learning and Teaching at Dominic College

The phenomenal growth of technology and its role in education for 21st century teaching and learning, has been very extraordinary. Dominic College has a philosophy that technology has enabled learning ‘anywhere and anytime’. Our Year 5-10 Laptop program has embraced this context. However, the exponential explosion of technology is also very challenging.
