Technology

At TVS, we believe it’s important to integrate technology thoughtfully, intentionally, and in a purposeful way. We use technology to PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THEIR FUTURES BY:

Collaborating
Creating, sharing, critiquing and revising content
Scrutinizing, evaluating, and appraising information
Curating content
Providing educational experiences not possible without technology
Connecting with experts and authentic audiences from around the globe
Differentiating the content of our courses to match the needs of our students
Providing timely feedback to students
Asking better questions and creating solutions
Increasing efficiency and organization
Empowering students to design their learning.

We also believe in the importance of having our students develop a balanced approach to their technology use. We work with our students to promote developing healthy, functional relationships with technology by also practicing mindful awareness of self and surroundings, and teaching critical thinking skills. It is our goal to create an environment where technology supports creative problem finding and solving, openness to growth and innovator’s mindset to prepare students for a fast-paced world of constant revision and iteration.
