Technology Program
The
technology coordinators assist teachers with the integration of the
technology curriculum into lesson plans and assessment, as well as
provide
specific technology instruction to students. The staff regularly
attends professional development in technology, sharing best practices,
and arranging opportunities for such professional development for the
faculty. The technology coordinators also facilitate and maintain
communication among faculty and staff, parents,students, and the parish.
Technology
is an integral part of each student’s learning experience at St.
Perpetua School and is fully integrated into the daily classroom
experience. St. Perpetua School leverages technology through:
● A new state-of-the-art information technology center, complete with computers for every student.
● Interactive
Promethean white boards in every classroom, featuring inter-write pads
and document cameras. Plus, learner response devices provide
opportunities for student involvement and assessment and allows teachers
to deliver dynamic lessons tailored to the immediate assessment of
student performance.
● A
mobile Apple iPad/MacBook Learning Lab cart providing flexible and
convenient wireless access to technology, easily transforming any
classroom into a digital learning environment.
Technology
is also incorporated into the various curriculum strands through lesson
plans, student projects and assessment. St. Perpetua School students
follow the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education)
standards, which identify higher-order thinking skills, digital
citizenship, digital tools for research, and knowledge of systems and
applications. Due to the ever-changing environment of technology, our
students learn how to navigate through various programs and use
different types of technology to solve problems and aide learning.
