Equipped for Learning – 1:1 Digital Devices

Midlothian Council provide every school-age pupil living in Midlothian with a learning device (iPad or Google Chromebook) as part of the Council’s £10.5 million investment in digital learning. This programme is called ‘Equipped for Learning’. At Loanhead Primary 1 and 2 have i-Pads and Primary 3-7 have Google Chromebooks. This programme benefits young people and our staff by:

• Providing a safe, secure and inclusive learning environment that all school age pupils can access equally.

• Giving pupils the tools to take greater control of their learning with the ability to access materials on their device at anytime from anywhere.

• Technically supporting the opportunities and demands of remote learning.

• Using the platform Google Workspace – popular across many industries – to help pupils and staff develop digital skills for life and work.
