Technology

Technology is integrated into the curriculum at every grade level. It begins in kindergarten in the Scholastic Lab where children are taught to read, write, and create on the computers, and build on that base all the way through the eighth grade. Fourth through eighth grades take part in technology classes. Middle school students learn to code using Hour of Code with Khan Academy.

Collaboration between the teachers across school subjects provides students with a curriculum that not only teaches the use of technology, but also how to use technology in both the classroom and in the real world.

Many technological resources are integrated into the learning experience of Holy Trinity students. Each classroom features an Eno interactive whiteboard that teachers use to engage students through Internet- and video-centered interactive activities. Teacher websites and the SchoolSpeak portal give students access to digital resources that expand upon the curriculum. Students in all grades use Chromebooks for Internet research, reading, web-based labs and activities, and typing. They use iPads in centers for research and filming. Students use the Accelerated Reader online program to promote and measure independent reading. In addition, teachers use a variety of educational websites to engage students, including LearnZillion, Catholic Telemedia Network (CTN), Brain Pop, and Mathletics. Websites, such as NewsELA and Common Lit are used to locate tiered readings to differentiate instruction. Students use Google Docs as a word processor, to collaborate with fellow students, and to submit work. Coding is taught beginning in fourth grade.
