    What Is Technology?

    Technology is a tool that extends human capabilities to solve problems. It is used to assist students in the acquisition of knowledge and it empowers teachers and administrators to stimulate learning more effectively. The teacher becomes a facilitator of learning, and technology becomes one of the many tools the student uses in learning. Technology as a learning tool provides a repeatable process, one that the student can use repeatedly to acquire new knowledge.

    Educational technology encompasses computers, software, radio, television, satellite communications, interactive video, electronic interface devices, wireless devices, robotics, internet , distance learning and digital content.

    Information Technology Department deals with Infrastructure, maintenance and security for voice, video and data networks. This includes acquisition of hardware, support for WAN, LAN Wi-Fi, VoIP, digital and analog Inter-Tel PBX, Cisco, SpectraLink wireless network, Cisco PIX firewall, Web and E-mail servers, and Financial and Student Information Systems.
