At ComputerTransitions, our vision is for students to be prepared for the 21^st Century through the use of relevant computer-based technologies and telecommunications to access appropriate information for learning and enhance personal achievement.

Why do we believe integrating technology throughout the curriculum is so important?

» Students learn by constructing their own knowledge when using new information in meaningful ways
» New knowledge must build directly on what each student already knows
» Students must see the connection between the new ideas and their world
» Students need to be actively involved in their own learning and decisions about their learning
» Students will need to use technology as a tool to solve problems
» Student’s primary goal is to learn academic objectives using 21st century tools
» Students will learn to use technology as a secondary objective
» Students learn best when constructing projects to demonstrate their learning
» Student success and motivation to learn will increase

How do we achieve this goal?

Classroom technology promotes and facilitates an active student learning environment where students use computers to link the real world to relevant topics and do so utilizing varied forms of technology as learning and problem-solving tools.

We have developed multiple programs which are designed to alter the learning environment within schools.

» Cyber Classrooms – environments that hold the appropriate tools and configuration to support delivering instruction utilizing varied forms of technology
» Cyber Teachers –Teachers are invited to become Cyber Teachers.  They must be motivated to learn to deliver instruction in a Cyber Classroom environment. These teachers become the technological leaders of the school who also model for others and encourage them in the use of technology in the classroom. We work closely with these teachers, individually and in small groups, to address their individual, curriculum-driven technology integration needs. We provide instruction in classroom management, review their academic curriculum and help develop technology integrated lesson plans, and model technology integration for them.
» SET students - Student Experts in Technology, a program that utilizes trained students to assist teachers and students in the classrooms and labs with technology
» PAT parents – Parent Assistants in Technology, a program that utilizes trained parent volunteers to assist teachers and students in the classrooms and labs with technology.
