Western New York Maritime Charter School and its faculty are committed to the successful integration of technology into teachings and learnings throughout the school on a daily basis. We believe that effective technology integration must happen across a curriculum in ways that deepen and enhance the learning process.
The school technology includes the following list which will expand throughout the 2019-2020 school year:
- Interactive display boards in all Middle School classrooms and several High School classrooms to bring education to life and engage all students.
- Five class sets of Chrome books in mobile carts in the high school and six mobile carts in the middle school.
- Four class sets of Chromebooks permanently assigned to Science, ELA, and the Social Studies departments.
- One set of iPads permanently assigned to Math.
- Two rolling Apple iPad labs with apps for every class and subject.
- One computer lab with 20 HP workstations and 10 Chromebooks in the library . These computers contain Microsoft Office 2016, G Suite, as well as several mathematical software programs such as Geometer's SketchPad.
- Software that is used to convert text to speech to assist students as needed.
- Extensive use of Google Classroom for assignments and student submission.
-
Every Cadet at Maritime is provided with a secure Google account to interact with teachers and access their work from home.
-
The Science Department has digital microscopes that connect to projectors so the whole class can participate in labs simultaneously.
-
Computer Based Learning. Interactive software and video simulations are used in a learning setting where course content is reviewed and extended, exam preparation occurs, and realistic and abstract course related simulations are created and played out ( historical combat, business simulations, sports, and civilization development games).
-
Online whole class assessments using Google forms to provide immediate feedback with scores and answer corrections for quick quizzes and review sessions.
