PROGRAM DETAIL:
Wildwood's Technology program aims to build technological proficiency in teachers and students. At the core of this process is to provide technological autonomy through the development of foundational skill sets in computing. Due to the rapid growth of technology, experimentation and discovery are the best ways for students to build confidence and the capacity to meet new standards of systems that are current and have yet to be developed. Learning tech literacy and efficiency is not seen as a separate subject area but rather as a tool that supports and enriches the curriculum. Students are encouraged to experiment, explore, create and collaborate in a supportive learning environment.
