For many years, St. Joseph School has embraced technology as an integral part of educating our students. In the classroom, teachers and students use Smart TV's, document cameras, classroom sound systems, laptops, and iPads to facilitate student learning in a number of diverse and engaging ways.  Rather than having a separate “computer” curriculum, the use of computers and other interactive devices is integrated into the curriculum wherever it is an appropriate means to enhance student learning. Using our technology resources in this manner allows staff and students in Kindergarten, Elementary, and Junior High to use technology as a tool for effective communication, personal productivity, and lifelong learning.

St. Joseph Technology Resources include:

 

• Smart TV's, document cameras, and other devices in every K-8 classroom 

• Classroom audio systems are used in all K-8 classrooms for voice reinforcement and presentations

• Mobile laptop carts housing Chromebooks and iPads allow our teachers in grades 1-8 the flexibility needed to include this technology in their instruction whenever needed.

• iPads and Chromebooks are also integrated into our curriculum. They are utilized for a variety of tasks, from personal planning (homework), note-taking, research, and completing daily homework assignments to creating dynamic multimedia presentations. Students in 6th-8th grades receive their own devivce to use during the school year. In grades K-5, the classrooms provide access to several classroom devices for shared use by the students. 

 

Our school is continuously evaluating our use of electronic learning tools and adding resources to ensure we are meeting the needs of our students and preparing them to be productive, lifelong learners.

 

Technology at St. Joseph School is coordinated by our Educational Technology Coordinator, Mr. Mauricio Ramirez.  For more information or questions, contact the school office.
