   have a smart board task force”

Philosophy of
              Technology
Westminster Christian Academy seeks to develop, through the use of technology,
students who are discriminating researchers, and analytic thinkers. Westminster
Christian Academy students will use knowledge to collaborate, communicate,
analyze, create, innovate and solve problems using technology as a tool.
Technology and technology use must foster discovery of not only the potential
for its use but also the understanding of its proper place in learning, applying
knowledge, and integration into all aspects of life. The teaching with and
teaching of technology, while being based on Westminster Christian Academy’s
philosophy of education must contribute to increased interdepartmental
communication, increased departmental collaboration and increased unity of
pedagogy. At the same time it must foster an environment that combats, not
contributes to, the increased sense of disconnectedness among people while
ensuring that ethical use which includes self-control, focus, and clear objectives
is embraced as much, if not more than, the tools of technology themselves.
What We’ve Realized


• It’s not about the machines
What We’ve Realized


• It’s about how to be more effective teachers
What We’ve Realized

• If we make it our aim to figure out how technology
  gets integrated into the curriculum we are already
  behind.
What We’ve Realized

• Our biggest challenge is how to increase the
  faculty’s technological literacy. Technology is
  nothing more than the pencil and paper of our
  time.
Implementation of
       Philosophy of
        Technology

• Disclaimer:
     • Nothing has been approved. This is merely
       what we’re thinking. Don’t panic.
Implementation of
       Philosophy of
        Technology
     Staff Development
•   In order to achieve a technologically literate
     educational system it is imperative that the faculty
     of Westminster be trained and skilled in its use and
     implementation with vigilant support of hardware,
     software, and staff development opportunities.
•   We will be devising a pilot staff development
     program in technology to test this spring.
Implementation of
        Philosophy of
         Technology
       Hardware/Design
•   Aside from philosophical and pedagogical issues,
     technology also has a very concrete side. The
     design of the Town and Country campus must
     accommodate the possibility of different “spaces”
     that must be connected. This requires us to either
     move to a 1 to 1 campus (which could mean many
     things) initially or at the minimum design the
     campus with the ability to accommodate such a
     move should it be deemed necessary
Implementation of
          Philosophy of
           Technology
         I.T. Department
•   The creation of an Information Technology
     department at WCA is essential. This department
     would include the staff positions of Director of
     Technology, Technology Coordinator, and Media
     Coordinator. Additional positions, whether part-
     time or full-time, would include positions oriented
     toward specific areas such as software experts,
     troubleshooters, trainers, hardware repair, etc. and
     would be added as needed and if viable.

  • 9. Implementation of Philosophy of Technology • Disclaimer: • Nothing has been approved. This is merely what we’re thinking. Don’t panic.
  • 10. Implementation of Philosophy of Technology Staff Development • In order to achieve a technologically literate educational system it is imperative that the faculty of Westminster be trained and skilled in its use and implementation with vigilant support of hardware, software, and staff development opportunities. • We will be devising a pilot staff development program in technology to test this spring.
  • 11. Implementation of Philosophy of Technology Hardware/Design • Aside from philosophical and pedagogical issues, technology also has a very concrete side. The design of the Town and Country campus must accommodate the possibility of different “spaces” that must be connected. This requires us to either move to a 1 to 1 campus (which could mean many things) initially or at the minimum design the campus with the ability to accommodate such a move should it be deemed necessary
  • 12. Implementation of Philosophy of Technology I.T. Department • The creation of an Information Technology department at WCA is essential. This department would include the staff positions of Director of Technology, Technology Coordinator, and Media Coordinator. Additional positions, whether part- time or full-time, would include positions oriented toward specific areas such as software experts, troubleshooters, trainers, hardware repair, etc. and would be added as needed and if viable.
