Developing 21st century skills are essential for today’s students to meet state standards, perform on assessments, and be college and career ready. Digital skills help to improve critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity in students. MTC is committed to academic excellence utilizing technology by providing access to digital tools in all classes. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of our parent volunteers, we are able to move forward with our 1:1 digital device plan at no additional cost to our parents.
2017-2018 Technology Plan:
- 1:1 iPads for students in grade 8
- Shared digital device access for all students
Each iPad and computer will contain:
- Office 365: Word, Publisher, Power Point, One Note, Excel, Publisher, Outlook
- Various online interactive textbooks
- Accelerated Math
- Scholastic Magazine
- Encyclopedia Britannica
- Additional religion, math, language arts, social studies, science, music, art and Spanish resources
- A keyboard with a protective case (iPad)
We will be implementing our 1:1 digital device plan starting with 8th grade in 2017-18. We will be evaluating and refining for expansion to additional grade levels in the coming years.
MTC teachers will be gearing up for the start of the school year by attending various technology training sessions this summer. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue to plan outstanding lessons for our students and embrace 21st century skills.
