Technovations

In the 21st Century School, the innovative use of technology extends beyond the realm of traditional educational technology. Low-cost computing, open source software, second-generation (Web 2.0) interactive tools and advanced management systems create a new world of opportunities for principals, teachers and students.

Our Technovations team applies their expertise in systems analysis and technology planning to the development of customized 21st century learning environments, focusing on three key areas of support. Addressing Technology & Hardware Planning, we can:

• assess your current environment
• identify opportunities and help implement new systems
• provide training and support as needed.

The planning process is guided by your long-term priorities and goals for learning, always sensitive to the need for sustainable, affordable solutions.

We also help schools build greater capacity for Collaboration & Communication, assisting in planning for and implementing resources that benefit students and teachers alike. Ranging from school-wide student and parent email to interactive web design for community outreach, new online systems engage students, strengthen their organizational skills and encourage them to write more. At the same time, teachers gain powerful tools for assessment, management and communication.
