Technology at Ursuline Academy
In Their Own Words: Read more about our laptop program from graduates--> The Learning with Laptops program at Ursuline Academy is designed to put mobile technology in the hands of all teachers, middle school and high school students for learning anytime, anywhere. Through the school-wide wireless network, all students and teachers use their own Dell laptops to bring learning and teaching to a higher level. Students are able to decide how to find and organize information in a way that best helps them learn, whether by using the word processor to refine their English essay, or by connecting to the Internet to research a chemical reaction during chemistry lab. In foreign language class, they can practice their foreign language skills by communicating with Ursuline students in other countries. But most importantly, our students are able to work at their own pace, be more creative, and integrate the computer into their learning environment at school, at home, or anywhere. Since
the beginning of the laptop program, students have benefited from increased
collaboration, independent learning, increased enthusiasm for schooling,
and more engagement in problem solving. For teachers, the program can
help individualize instruction for students with a range of needs. Classrooms
go beyond the four walls and are open to the world of information. Ursuline Academy has adopted an Internet Acceptable Use Policy that is signed by all students and their parents. This policy will make them responsible users of Internet information.
