Technology has the vast potential to reach students with different interests and learning styles, from visual and spatial learners to those with linguistic or logical-mathematical strengths. Holy Trinity actively uses technology in educating and exciting our students.
Computers are used for typing instruction as well as for integrated math projects, literary Webquests, historic research, and other dynamic activities. Wireless connections exist in every classroom. Every classroom is fitted with an interactive digital projector to facilitate innovative applications.
Students in Explorer – grade 8 enjoy weekly computer education classes in our two state-of-the-art computer labs. Students focus on using computers as tools for exploring and enhancing their current areas of study. They learn what is available on the Web—as well as the perils and pitfalls of Internet access and information. We instruct our students in proper keyboarding skills and thoroughly teach and use desktop publishing applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint.
In addition, the School boasts three laptop carts, totaling 70 netbooks, as well as 60 Ipod touches, which provide individual access during special, technology-enhanced lessons in the classroom.
