Mission statement
The mission of technology at Albany Academy and Albany Academy for Girls is to optimize, enhance, and expedite creative and critical thinking in a technology-based global society. Technology is integrated into cross-discipline curriculums in order to develop the cognitive skills necessary to communicate in a diverse culture.
Technology at the Academies prepares students for life-long learning whether in the arts, the sciences, or in literature.
Here are some examples of cross discipline projects.
1. Integration with the Arts Department in Music Industry I and II for grades 9-12
2. We are working on a collaborative project with chorus for Evening of the Arts
3. Integration with the English department; Computer Writing , exploring writing children stories in Macromedia Flash as well as electronic poems
4. We explore nanotechnology in our Essential Technology course.
Technology at the Academies encourages problem solving, exploration, and learning in and out of the classroom, promoting higher-order thinking and technological literacy.
Activation and Guiding Principles
· Technology should not drive the curriculum but should be used as an appropriate tool in the learning process and training will facilitate this.
· The technology department at the Academies will provide access and training of technology for all staff.
· The technology staff will provide leadership and guidance for faculty, administration, and other school personnel in the areas of hardware, software, application, and usage to support and enhance the instructional program for students across all curricular areas.
· When new technology is acquired the means and training to use it successfully and responsibly will be provided.
