Technology Integration
Technology in Nature
The integration of technology is fundamental to our middle school environmental science program. Our 1-1 Ipad and Chromebook program along with our proximity to the Presidio allows our teachers to be dynamic and innovative in their lesson design. With our partnership with Presidio biologists our students access a plethora of modern tracking and monitoring devices. We believe technology literacy is vital, and if applied appropriately, can enhance a facet of science skills. We remind students that technology is a science tool that allows us to make observations and inferences we couldn't ordinarily make.
