Excerpts from: "Holy Family's Vision for Technology Use and Integration"

• Technology keeps changing at an alarming pace, and today’s elementary school students will be using technology in the future that we are only beginning to imagine.
• Computer literacy skills are a set of life skills that will enable students to use electronic tools effectively and efficiently.
• A meaningful, unified computer literacy curriculum must be more than "laundry lists" of isolated skills.
• Students need to learn to operate computers and their peripherals and use software applications both as instructional aides and production tools.
• Holy Family views technology as a tool to support learning.
• Our aim is to prepare students to use these tools effectively by learning how to select technology appropriate for the task, use it efficiently, evaluate results, and communicate information in different formats.
• The goal of Holy Family Catholic Schools’ computer literacy and integration curriculum is to provide students with computer skills necessary for becoming productive citizens in a technological world.
• It is intended that Holy Family students will become strategic learners who can apply and transfer knowledge to solve problems and make connections. They will be skilled users of technology as a learning tool.
