HFS Technology Lab:

Holy Family Students in Kindergarten to Fifth Grade attend computer classes in the technology lab on a weekly basis. Grade-level appropriate curriculum enables students to gain confidence and competence with computer technology while practicing the “21st Century Skills” of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking. The technology curriculum is aligned with ISTE Standards for Students.

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) devised standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly global and digital world. The 2019 ISTE Standards for Students emphasize the skills and qualities we want for students, enabling them to engage and thrive in a connected, digital world.

  1. Empowered Learner: Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
