Educational Technology
Students at North Shore utilize technology to:
- Supplement and enhance their learning in and out of the classroom
- Engage with digital content in safe, mindful and smart ways
- Digitally communicate their ideas and engage with global viewpoints
- Collaborate, create and cooperate through various digital means
We provide students with ubiquitous access to technology and have selected the iPad as a tool that helps empower students to maximize their development in both content knowledge and academic skills as well as push them to be active learners. Through our one-to-one device program, our faculty are able to provide greater differentiation and personalization of instruction while engaging students of varying learning styles.
Together, the Educational Technology and the Information Technology Departments work closely to ensure a smooth digital learning experience for all students and faculty.
