At Abiqua, we don’t just learn to use technology; we use
technology to learn. Although we recognize that technology has
the power to transform teaching and learning, it is not an end
in itself. It is there to serve the needs of students and
teachers, and support the learning process. At Abiqua,
technology is presented in a manner that fosters learning and
encourages students and faculty to stretch their intellectual
limits. We take time to find software and websites that are
relevant and meaningful for our children. Abiqua supports
ethical use of computers and safe and responsible online
behavior.
Each of our classrooms is equipped with an interactive
whiteboard along with an interactive response system. These
SMARTBOARDS™ provide a world of information at the touch of a
finger, whether on the Internet or through other media. The
interactive response system ensures that each student is
participating and actively engaged. It also enables a teacher to
gain immediate feedback regarding student learning each and
every day, rather than waiting for periodic test results. If
students are not grasping a concept, then the teacher can
address the topic again from a different perspective.
The Elementary School’s Computer Lab is equipped with desktop
PC’s. All Middle School students are provided with laptops. |
