Our expectations for all the
students here at the at the Academy of Learning of Technology (ALT) is very
high. ALT
students will be provided
with numerous opportunities to learn specific software applications like
Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, Front Page, Explorer as well as other
applications including video and photo editing. We expect ALT
students to be able to apply their technological knowledge of these specific
software applications in a meaningful and productive way in the classroom, at home, or in
their future career.
We incorporate technology in two
ways. First, technology is taught to our students in the form of computer
classes. Students learn the principles of Microsoft Office programs as well
as other software programs. Students are expected to demonstrate their
understanding of these concepts through hands on computer projects, tests,
and teacher observations.

Secondly, technology is used in the
process of learning as well as
a tool to enhance a classroom activity.
For example, classroom teachers can use the computers to research topics,
write papers, and present information. Also available to our teachers are a
smart board, digital cameras, and video equipment.
With cutting edge technologies and
abundant opportunities for our students to access this technology, the ALT
school is better preparing our students with the technological skills they
will need to be successful in their academic future.
