Technology Research and Integration

The Technology Research and Integration Team is responsible for leveraging the power of new digital-age technologies towards the engagement of students in their processes of learning and discovery.

Our Team is heavily involved in staff development and District-wide collaboration related to technologies and pedagogical methods that seek to maximize student engagement, and correspondingly, lasting and relevant learning.

We are continually implementing new programs and approaches that enhance the digital-age skills of students, allowing them to become life-long, self-motivated learners.

We recognize the ever-increasing importance of 21st-Century skills, among them information literacy, creativity, collaboration, communication; and look to provide opportunities for student and staff development in these areas.
