Technology Instruction:

A critical focus of a 21st century school is the integration of technology into the students’ learning environment. Technology is incorporated throughout our curriculum as a fundamental tool which enhances learning and mastery. Today’s students need to develop critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and other 21st century skills to excel in our digital world. Inquiry–based learning uses a project-based approach to integrating technology into core instruction. With technology projects in ELA, math, science, social studies and religion, our inquiry provides opportunities to build 21^st century skills that will serve students well in high school, college, and in life.
