Technology at Ramona Convent Secondary School

At Ramona Convent Secondary School (RCSS) students will use technology to deepen and personalize their learning, to connect and collaborate, and to enhance their engagement with local and global issues.

Brain science tells everyone that the most effective learning occurs when you are involved in a process of inquiry and creation. Research also shows that technology, thoughtfully integrated into daily instruction, helps make this deep learning possible.

Using 21st century tools, you will develop a mindset of creating rather than consuming content. At Ramona you will analyze letters and census data from the Civil War, record and evaluate your own singing, track your fitness, prepare presentations, annotate texts, collaborate with scholars around the world to design solutions to artistic, mathematical social or scientific programs, program micro-processors to activate LED lights, practice listening to and speaking French, Mandarin Chinese, or Spanish, submit assignments electronically–and that’s just a start.

These tools, however, are powerful. Digital citizenship, including responsible use of technology and on line safety, is integrated into our curriculum.

Because learning isn’t connected to any particular device, and because many college students and working adults use more than one device, we encourage you to choose the device (laptop or tablet) you prefer.
