Technology at The Northwest School is but one of many tools students and faculty use to foster learning. Teachers and the Educational Technology Coordinator collaborate to create meaningful technology-rich learning.
Computers are available in the new Technology Center, in the Library, in classrooms, and on laptop carts. Nine mobile media carts allow teachers and students to do multi-media projects throughout the building. The Technology Center also is equipped with scanners, video and document cameras. Six classrooms have SMART Boards for more interactive applications of technology.
The Educational Technology Coordinator provides broad technical support to faculty and students. She works with teachers to create technology-based assignments and projects, and coaches students in PowerPoint presentations and multimedia and video productions. Students have remote access to their files at any time, and the Educational Technology Coordinator is available to answer technology questions from parents.
Ethical behavior and internet safety are ongoing themes repeatedly emphasized throughout a student's career at The Northwest School.
