The International School of Creative Science Nad Al Sheba (ISCS Nad Al Sheba) Digital Strategy provides the framework for a state-of-the-art facility, which utilizes carefully selected tools for an enriching and authentic learning experience for its students. As a Bring Your Own Device school (BYOD) students in Years 3 – 9 have access to iPads and an Apple pencil to promote creativity, work collaboratively and gain access to transformational feedback opportunities through select applications.
The classroom is no longer a static environment at ISCS Nad Ala Sheba with a teacher working from the front. With multiple display panels, teachers can provide several learning opportunities for students within the same lesson. Teachers utilize iPads to roam freely around the classroom, providing focused support where needed and sharing resources and activities via Apple TV’s.
Virtual Reality headsets allow students to explore space stations, walk on the great wall of China and visit the holy Kaba, without stepping out of the classroom! 3D printers, digital visualizers, interactive tables, and a selection of software applications equip students with 21st century digital skills in preparation for life beyond school.
Students will use Augmented Reality on their devices to understand key knowledge in an immersive, experiential and interactive way rather than through a worksheet or video. ISCS uses, technology to aid learning, enhance student experiences and empower them to learn independently through the use of technology. All aspects of learning will be carefully tracked, and parents have access to their child's learning and feedback given by the teacher, which will promote a strong home-school learning experience.
At ISCS Nad Al Sheba, parents can follow up on the education of their children at their fingertips via the personalised web portal accessed securely using individual login details. This cutting edge system was designed to provide parents with the information on their children’s progress, daily schedule, weekly/theme schemes, assessments, parent notices, homework, attendance, assessment results, canteen utilisation and credit, library resource utilisation, and overall financial status and other details of their account with the school. The school uses the portal as one of the primary means of communication between parents and teachers.
