Technology
Purpose statement
At ASFG we integrate technology to provide transformative experiences for all learners to achieve the ASFG learning goals.
Our Philosophy
Technology at our school is aimed at supporting teachers and empowering students to be purposeful learners, critical and creative thinkers, effective communicators, and community contributors in a global, interconnected world. Technology resources should offer a balanced shift in what we learn and how we learn. "How we learn" is enhanced by technology as it allows for customization, interaction, and learner control. Teachers are encouraged to integrate hands-on learning into their daily teaching while inspiring ASFG students to be creative and communicate their best thinking. The interactions with technology provide students with the highest level of knowledge and skills they need to succeed in today's universities and the global workplace.
ASFG's technology is woven throughout the campus at all grade levels. Our youngest students are exposed to an intuitive technological experience with classroom computers and tablets. Students interact with applications that foster literacy, fine motor skills, and their curiosity for learning. Students then begin the first steps of collaboration using cloud based documents. They interact with the global community in exciting ways such as through video conferences with students from other countries. Digital citizenship is integrated throughout the students’ technology and academic curriculum. Students eventually launch full speed into multi-media creation when they receive their individual school-issued laptop. Our upper level students learn specialized skills such as 3D design and printing, professional multi-media production, website design, and programming. These learning opportunities are made easier with the tools ASFG offers and through integration into all curricular areas.
