UPPER SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY

In the spring of 2010, we launched our iLearn initiative. This initiative connects the LCA mission, the learning environment, and students of the 21st century with skills such as creativity, innovation, and collaboration. iLearn is focused on using the best practices and methodology for learning, not on deploying any specific technology devices. 

Every US student is issued a school-owned device that provides opportunities to learn, engage, communicate, and develop the skills required for college and career in the 21st century. Our classrooms actively integrate the use of technology into our student’s daily routine, teaching them how to effectively apply this tool. Additionally, we provide accountability as our students grow into biblically-focused digital citizens. 

The introduction of new technology to classrooms has given us the tremendous opportunity to expand our instruction. We provide enrichment opportunities for students to drill down deeper into areas in which they are passionate. Students complete research beyond what is available in a textbook and express a complex project result using their choice of media. For example, in science students may compose a quick video highlighting different outcomes of an experiment or build an online presentation focusing on detailed representations of the data. In addition, it allows us to provide additional practice for students who need it through online material, and their progress can be quickly and easily assessed.

Our applied use of technology gives us the ability to more efficiently evaluate how we are accomplishing our daily mission of “preparing our students academically, spiritually, and socially for God’s call on their lives.”
