Intentional Technology Use
The Island School approaches technology in classrooms with intentionality and transparency. Since the school's founding, an emphasis on hands-on learning that engages all the senses and academic and interpersonal skills across disciplines has been a hallmark of the educational program. This is still true today. Given current technology use in public and private schools varies vastly, it is important for families to have a clear picture of what technology use looks like in our classrooms which is explained below.
