Technology
Technology courses are essential to every Catholic school curriculum. Technology is required to be integrated throughout each course of study from Mathematics to Religion. The use of technology in the 21st century is integral to preparing students for college and career success. Technology courses in Catholic schools cover a variety of lessons including Research and Information Fluency, Digital Citizenship, Creativity and Innovation, Communication, and Collaboration. All of these units are taught and influenced through the lens of Catholic identity and the dignity of all humankind.
Technology in the classroom
Chromebook Initiative
All students, grade 5-8, are provided with in-class Chromebooks and all students grade 9-12, are provided with take-home Chromebooks. There are also Chromebooks on hand for our students in grades prek4-4th, ensuring that all students are able to communicate effectively, improve their technological skills, and achieve their goals as they transition into high school, higher education, and the workforce.
SMART Boards
To further integrate technology in our classrooms, Our Lady of Mount Carmel has installed SMART Boards and Tables in the Upper and Lower Schools as well as the Early Learning Program classrooms. These provide hands-on, interactive learning that stimulates the classroom and allows instruction to continue in a fun and exciting way.
