Educational Technology

Jonas Salk High Tech Academy is a cutting edge school in the area of educational technology.

We have some goals regarding the use of technology in our teaching:

1 - Guide students in learning 21st century skills to prepare them for a future we can not fully predict.
2 - Empower students with creative tools.
3- Provide standards based education to help foster problem solving skills.
4- Create student products that can be shared to an authentic audience.

There are many readings and resources available to help our understanding of educational technology. Following is a small sampling of work available.

Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants by Marc Prensky
Campfires in Cyberspace by David Thornburg
Millennial Children (podcast) by David Warlick
Grazing the Net: Raising a Generation of Free Range Students by Jamie McKenzie
