Some Background Reading

Students today live in a world without walls. The majority of Somerville students (98%) have a computer at home. Some 58% have their own computer and only 3% do not have the internet at home.

In a recent survey 80% stated that they have a mobile phone and a similar percentage have an ipod or MP3 player.

Somerville students are connected to the world any time, any where. At Somerville we are encouraging the students to explore using ICT solutions for learning. We are encouraging the students to set up personal learning environments that can be taken with them to college.
