Technology in the Classroom
A well-rounded technology curriculum must address the unique complexities of growing up digital.
Throughout their time at Westside, students will be challenged to develop critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creative skills. Although referred to as "digital natives", comfort does not imply an understanding of the impact that innovation has on our environment, community interactions, digital identities, or self-esteem.
Our Technology Specialist works with faculty to develop a relevant curriculum, rooted in healthy technology use -- meaningful beyond the walls of the classroom.
Lower School classes use technology -- computers and iPads -- as natural extensions of curriculum.
The Middle School program is complimented by one-to-one iPad deployment --each student is issued an iPad at the beginning of the school year.
