Technology at Chesterfield is woven throughout all curricular areas. I work closely with the core academic teachers to help guide, reinforce and enhance what they are doing in their classrooms. You will find that the students may be in the technology lab several times a day for different subject areas. The countless resources of the online world provide us with more interesting, diverse, and current learning materials. Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding through multiple means.
We have become a Google School, which means that every student has their own Google account in which they can store their documents. This really is a great tool when sharing work with a teacher or working on an assignment from home. This eliminates the need for flash drives and lost documents! |
"Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally.
The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions -- as accessible as all other classroom tools." -- National Educational Technology Standards for Students, International Society for Technology in Education |
