In 2014 the Yr 5's at OLA are the first Year Level to use ipads 1:1 with students. This page is designed to assist the parents and students in Yr 5 in understanding which apps we will be using and why. All apps that appear below have been assessed according to OLA's evaluative rubric designed specifically with educational outcomes in mind. These particular apps were chosen for their educational value and potential for creative and collaborative learning.

They are like an app toolkit for the students in 5G.
