Technology

Mission Statement: The mission of the technology department is to promote the effective use of technology tools by working alongside TWCA community members and available instructional resources to facilitate and improve the learning experience for our students, all for the Glory of God!

Vision Statement: Our vision is that students, staff, and faculty will have access to all the necessary tools of technology and the skills to effectively use those tools for the process of planning, implementing, and maintaining a meaningful learning environment for students.

Through our distributing laptop to grades 4-12 and faculty members in the spring of 2007 and the implementation of a 1-to-1 laptop student laptop program in the fall of 2007, TWCA committed itself to providing anytime, anywhere learning to our students with its laptop program by allowing every Upper School student access to a laptop with wireless connectivity along with the educational software and hardware necessary for success. TWCA has made great strides in technology as follows:
  • acquisition and implementation of 2 portable laptop labs for students in 4 & 8 grade consisting of 20 Apple laptops per cart -installation of filtering and reporting hardware for CIPA compliance
  • creation and implementation of computing policies such as the IUP, AUP, and LAUP for governance
  • computer lab available for lower and middle school classes
  • 1-to-1 mobile computing in Upper School
  • Wi-Fi available throughout the campus
  • interactive presentation boards available in science, math, computer literacy, english, and other content areas
  • 24/7 streaming video available to faculty
  • professional development workshops offered to faculty after-school throughout the year
  • 1 to 1 technology integration assistance made available to content-area teachers
     
TWCA's technology goal is to not only provide a modern tool that facilitates meaningful learning but to provide a necessary tool in creating an innovative, dynamic, and interactive learning environment for our college preparatory program. TWCA is committed to creating an active, constructive, intentional, cooperative, and authentic learning environment when integrating technology into content area.
