Technology in the classroom

Students continue to use technology for learning. – They use interactive whiteboards to touch, manipulate, and play with their lesson content, while becoming tech-savvy, lifelong learners. New for this school year was the Smart Responder System, a system where students can use wireless remotes to answer questions, or to participate in polls or quizzes.

A number of classes have the interactive technology in their classrooms, while all grades share time in North's two new TILE spaces. TILE stands for Technology-Integrated Learning Environment, and the new spaces help the school reach its goals of developing students to their fullest potentials. Classes use the sets of laptops in the TILEs to explore Internet resources, create papers and presentations, and become knowledgeable and safe users of technology. North school teachers share their knowledge and expertise with the new technology by training other teachers and classes of students. Students are beginning to take more responsibility for caring for the space and trying new technology.
