Transcript: Challenge Based Learning – John Monash Science School
Neil Carmona-Vickery, Teacher: We offer students a mix of technologies here at John Monash Science School, from Macs, PCs and iPads. We believe that students need to have that choice of technology in order to be able to complete that work. 
Emerging technologies challenges students through challenge based learning, to utilise technologies in ways that are meaningful, not only for interests sake, but also in terms of personal development and thinking skills.
Chris Harte, Teacher:  The power of multiple devices is that students have an element of choice over which device they want to use or which technology they want to use. But often we’ll find that they’ll blend those technologies and they’ll take the best from the iPad, they’ll take the best from the laptop, and use that effectively to complete any outcome or learning outcome. But also within their daily lives in terms of organising their time, recording homework and all of those kinds of things. They are both dependent on those devices but also use them to their maximum capacity.
Student: People our age are visual learners and having all this technology just caters to our needs perfectly. 
Peter Corkill, Principal: We are at a time in education where, if you are going to legitimately engage the young person of the 21st century, you cannot do that without technology. But if you want kids to be engaged with education then I think we need technologies, which will enable kids to explore different areas of learning to go further, to go well beyond the constructs and confines of a set curriculum.
