Google Reference School Application

The video features interviews with teachers and students discussing the transformative effect of technology in the classroom.

I hope this video is a testimony that across campus, using technology empowers students and teachers to take an active role in their learning goals.

Quotes from the Video

Renzo, on why he likes to learn with technology:

“Technology help me learn better because we can use our own way to learn”.

Jennifer, on how students demonstrate leadership while using technology:

“(Students) show leadership in the way they teach others, but they also take initiative to choose the technology that they feel best represents the skills or the knowledge they need to show in an assessment”.
Jennifer Gilbert, MYP Coordinator
