“Technology in education is so much more than adding computers to the classrooms. We must use technology as a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. The days of a “computer lab” in schools have given way to laptops and the integration of technology with course work.”-- DISRUPTING CLASS--How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns

Clayton M. Christensen

Holy Family Academy immerses technology into our 21st Century curriculum. All forms of technology are viewed as critical tools needed to enhance content learning..

  • Technology is not a separate subject, but rather is an integral part of helping students access, organize, evaluate, and communicate information.
  • Rather than bringing students to a “computer lab,” we bring the lab to the students and use technology as a daily teaching tool.
  • All classrooms have wireless internet connections and are equipped with multiple computers.
  • Beginning in 1st grade, technology is integrated into our students’ learning through videoconferences, Skype, Power Point, and data compilation and analysis
  • Technology is effective at differentiating learning so that all students are appropriately challenged.
  • All middle school students use laptop computers daily and are taught at Harper College by a Harper adjunct instructor.
