Technology Overview

Technology skills are best learned by using them in the context of class-related projects. A great deal of thinking, sharing, and creative problem solving takes place as students work together using technology. Our program ensures competency in basic technology skills, but our philosophy emphasizes the mastery of these skills not as an end in itself, but rather as a tool to support classroom learning. We recognize that students come to us with varying degrees of skill, exposure and comfort with technology. We teach these skills as a developmental progression, gradually extending student's ability to apply them in a number of different situations and contexts.
