The Akiva School incorporates technology across the curriculum in three languages, math and specialties such as arts, drama and music. Our teachers are continually upgrading their skills to seamlessly incorporate technology into the classroom. Teachers are using technology to teach and create projects in a Classroom 2.0 world, which calls on skills such as collaboration, global awareness, communication and digital citizenship.
Each classroom is equipped with an interactive Smartboard, access to ipads, regular use of the computer lab as well as a laptop cart for grades 4-6. The projects incorporate use of our other peripherals such as video camera, microphones, scanners and digital cameras.
The class projects cover technology skills that will be acquired each cycle. These proficienices include keyboarding, graphics and presentation skills through microphone work and video, word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, website design, creating movies, photography and collaborative cloud computing. The Internet is easily accessed to enhance education and teach the students not only to search for information effectively but to evaluate its source and credibility. Internet safety is discussed at each grade level in age appropriate contexts.
Our students are continually exposed to the cutting-edge trends in technology education to make the classroom lessons come alive and actively engage our students.
