WGJS is a very well resourced school in terms of teacher devices and mobile devices for the girls. In her role at school Charmaine teaches the teachers how to use the various Microsoft tools.

Mr Oliveir says "I have been using technology for many years so I have seen fads come and go. What I know for sure is that certain tools excite students but they don't learn anything from using them, while others excite the students and they learn without even realizing that they are learning. Those are the tools that are keepers and that I go back to week in week out, day in day out. Those are my go to tools. These include: (see infographic)
