With the supervision and leadership of the tech teaching team, MC School has undergone two new technological pilot projects that directly impact student learning. In the past we have taken steps towards making technology a living and breathing part of the school. One past project was the integration of robotics as part of our elective classes. Robotics allows students to delve into the world of S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math), in creating useful robots. This year we have continued our technological growth with two projects: the purchase of two Promethean Smart Boards and one mobile computer labs. We will be hearing about their experiences, and that of teachers in the future- so as as community we can reflect about how these tools have supported learning at MC School. Another new technological addition to MC School is the purchase of one mobile computer labs. In plain english, a mobile lab is a cart with 25 computers plugged into it that can move from classroom to classroom. Many of our students are already astute computer users- the next step in their learning is to use them in new ways to expand both their academic and intellectual learning. By having computers that move from classroom to classroom, students will have new technological tools to aid their learning at the tip of their fingers. Teachers will be able to plan lessons in which students can automatically duplicate classroom collaborative understanding. As part of it's definition, technology is always in progress. There are other new projects that are in the making that will have a positive effect on student learning. We'll keep you posted! | |
