Equal access to high-quality resources
Benefits of Digital Technology for Learning
Online resources can play a powerful role in boosting learning for all students, regardless of their background. Online resources provide equal access for all to high-quality educational materials, teacher-led lessons, and interactive tools that support different learning styles and abilities, across different environments. For children who may not have had the same opportunities outside of school, these resources help level the playing field — offering a flexible and engaging way to review, practice, and explore subjects at their own pace.
By integrating these tools into their pedagogy, teachers can personalise learning, close attainment gaps, and help every child reach their full potential.
Children attending a public school in Swansea automatically have free access via Hwb to the following Cloud services:
All of these are designed to enhance children’s learning experiences and develop key skills for the future. Best of all, these tools are available for free through Hwb for children attending public schools in Swansea; helping your child have an equal footing academically while preparing for the digitally-driven workplace.
