Castle College to get £100,000 worth of IT investment
-
Castle College is hoping the gadgets will encourage 300 children from disadvantaged backgrounds to learn to use modern technology.
It will use £40,000 to increase its wireless internet capacity, so students can access the internet all over its campuses.
Up to £60,000 will be used to buy Nintendo Wiis, iPod Touch MP3 players and the new Nintendo DSi, which is a portable games console with a handheld camera.
Lyn Lall, Castle College’s development manager for new technologies, said: "Innovative methods and materials will make the learning experience more personalised and fun, which will result in increased engagement, retention and achievement levels of students.
