Digital Learning

Doha College is a 1:1 iPad school, and all students from years 3 to 13 bring their device to school every day. Technology is fully integrated into teaching and learning; and students at Doha College show a high degree of digital literacy from an early age.

When applying digital learning tools within the curriculum, teachers are encouraged to follow the school’s model for digital learning. This provides a framework for purposeful use of technology in eight distinct capacities for learning, whilst supporting our whole school philosophy of high-performance learning.
