Students have access to a variety of technology tools at St. Gerard. There is a computer lab with 30 MacBook desktop computers, iPads, Chromebooks, and other technologies like robots and Augmented Reality tools.
Our Junior High students are 1:1 Chromebooks and grades 3-6 are 2:1. Students utilize Chromebooks and other technologies for learning throughout the school day. Kindergarten through second grade students have a shared iPad cart and classroom iPads that are used for small group practice.
In addition to technology being integrated through the school day, students in grades 3-8 also attend media literacy once a week where they work on typing, skills development, digital citizenship, research skills, evaluating news sources, and other technology-focused learning. Media literacy also incorporates reading and provides students the opportunity to check out books from the school library.
