Leveraging Learning through Technology

At The Kinkaid School, we want students to utilize technology as an essential part of their learning process so that they will be able to:

• Act as active, responsible and ethical citizens in the digital realm
• Communicate thoughts and ideas using a variety of digital media
• Create and consume digital information and technology mindfully and intelligently
• Apply technology innovatively in a variety of settings and circumstances

Embedded within our vision of teaching and learning with technology are three core components:

1. The ability to use technology to persuasively communicate their ideas via text, images, video, sound, graphs and other visuals
2. The ability to leverage technology as active citizens of the world
3. The experience of delving into computer science, design, engineering and fabrication to create new and novel solutions to the world’s problems

We strive to achieve these goals by using technology as an integral tool to explore all curricula, when appropriate, through regularly scheduled technology-based classes in the Lower School and the Middle School; through a number of technology electives from seventh grade through the Upper School (as well as in Interim Term); and via a variety of extracurricular activities, including robotics.
