Information & Communication Technology
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) plays an important role in learning and teaching in Argyll and Bute schools. Today a wide range of ICT equipment is available in schools and our pupils have the opportunity to learn through the use of computer applications, digital cameras, Interactive whiteboards and the World Wide Web. A new era in online communication and collaboration will begin with the introduction of Glow next year and regular updates will be available on this ICT area of the website.
