In the classrooms of the Liceo Classico Siotto (classical high school) and the Liceo Scientifico Pacinotti (scientific high school) in Cagliari, digital transformation is no longer a promise but a daily reality. Both high schools have been protagonists in an advanced educational project based on the structured use of iPads, Macs, interactive monitors, Wacebo scientific laboratories (TeachBus), smart furniture, and centralized device management with JAMF, all provided by C&C. This comprehensive pedagogical strategy not only makes learning more interactive and personalized but has also prepared students to face the State Exam with solid digital skills and effective tools.

The Siotto High School: a pioneering case in the State Exam

The Liceo Classico Siotto has marked a significant step forward in the use of digital technology during the State Exam. Thanks to the advanced device configuration via JAMF in "Single App Mode," C&C technicians were able to assure the Regional School Office that the use of the digital Latin dictionary during the written exam would occur in complete security, without any possibility of accessing other apps or content.

This innovation convinced inspectors and allowed the overcoming of a historical taboo, comparable to the introduction of the calculator in mathematics: the use of a digital dictionary in the Latin exam.

This achievement represented a turning point not only technically but culturally: a digital device no longer perceived as a risk, but as a controllable resource functional to the development of skills.

The Pacinotti High School: digital excellence in scientific and humanistic didactics

The Liceo Scientifico Pacinotti, a pioneer of digital classrooms in Cagliari, has long integrated the iPad as a daily teaching tool. Today, it is already in its sixth consecutive year of digital classrooms. Here, too, the digital dictionary played a significant role, particularly during the prestigious Certamen Karalitanum, a Latin translation competition involving students from all over Sardinia.

While the Latin exam is not part of the scientific curriculum, Pacinotti demonstrated how a passion for classical languages can coexist with technological innovation, making the study of Latin more accessible, interactive, and motivating.

Digital classroom: beyond technology, a new way of learning

The experiences of Siotto and Pacinotti confirm that the adoption of the iPad is not merely a technological modernization, but a conscious pedagogical choice.

Lessons become multimedia experiences, and students learn to collaborate, search, create content, use digital dictionaries even offline, simulate exams in a controlled mode, and develop digital competence that is now indispensable for both university and the world of work.

The digital dictionary: a teaching and exam tool

The digital dictionary installed on the iPad represents a powerful tool, compliant with ministerial regulations, for tackling the first part of the State Exam. Official apps (such as Devoto-Oli or Zingarelli) allow for offline work, guaranteeing reliability and security.

Thanks to familiarization with these tools during the school year, students learn to use them not only to improve their vocabulary but also to develop critical thinking, precision, and autonomy.

Conclusion: the school that prepares for the future

Thanks to the support of C&C and the foresight of the school principals, the Liceo Siotto and the Liceo Pacinotti now represent two excellences in Italian digital education.

Through the competent and secure use of the iPad, advanced device management with JAMF, and the conscious introduction of the digital dictionary even in exams, the school does not merely transmit notions but forms mature digital citizens, ready to face the challenges of the knowledge society.
