“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

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.
