Technology: Application and Instruction

 

Blessed Trinity School recognizes the importance of incorporating modern technology into all areas of curriculum to ensure that our students will be prepared, enthusiastic and productive members of their world community.

 

Our classrooms are equiped with Promethean Interactive Whiteboards in all classrooms, grades K-8 as well as multiple computers for student use.  Each teacher is provided a laptop computer. We have two fully functioning computer labs featuring thirty computers. Specialized computer classes are taught twice a week for grades 6-8 and once a week for grades K-5.  Open computer lab time is also available so that teachers may integrate technology into their instruction. Access to the Internet is available for independent research and time is allotted for Accelerated Reader testing.  Students also use a variety of educational websites to further enhance core curriculum, as well as computer knowledge and applications.

 

All students receive instruction appropriate for their grade level and the curriculum includes the following objectives:
