ANYTIME/ANYWHERE LEARNING

As used in the context of our curriculum, technology provides learning experiences which enhance and expand those provided by media such as textbooks and class discussions. We are committed to providing students with the tools they require to learn more effectively, more deeply, and more thoroughly. Technology, like reading and writing, is an everyday avenue for learning. Because we feel strongly that technology facilitates learning, we use it extensively throughout our curriculum so that it is available in every class, for every project or assignment, and to every student equally.

Our wireless network allows students to access a wide range of Internet resources. They use our on-line library catalog, subscription services (American National Biography, Lexis Nexis Scholastic Universe), and on-line textbooks, such as Beyond Books and RiverDeep. Because every student has a laptop, these resources are available for her use when the student needs them from any location on our campus.

Student laptops are equipped with Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for presentations and projects. Other software includes iMovie and PhotoShop for digital editing, Geometer's Sketchpad for Geometry, PageMaker for yearbook and newspaper design, and Inspiration, a project design tool.
