Technology
Tepeyac offers students 24/7 learning opportunities through advanced technology, including Apple computers, MacBooks, iPads, and Chromebooks. As a Google school, we utilize tools like Gmail, Classroom, and Drive, with all classrooms equipped with projectors and document cameras.
Our Goals:
- Maximize college and career readiness through effective technology use
- Foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills
- Strengthen communication and collaboration with teachers and peers
- Promote lifelong learning and adaptation to diverse learning needs
- Organize and access information efficiently for reports and presentations
Our Devices:
Our program features a computer lab and three Chromebook carts, providing students access to lightweight laptops that run Chrome OS. With these devices, students can efficiently use Google Apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms) and enjoy unlimited cloud storage for easy access to their work. Chromebooks boot in just 8 seconds and offer all-day battery life, enabling students to engage in projects like 3D printing and robotics.
Our Lab Hours:
- Before School: 7:00 AM - 7:55 AM
- Late Start Wednesdays: 8:30 AM - 8:55 AM
- After School: Until 4:30 PM (unless otherwise noted)
Our Vision:
Technology enriches teaching and learning at Tepeyac, allowing teachers to tailor instruction to meet diverse needs, especially for ELL and IEP students. Classroom access to Chromebooks facilitates immediate use of digital tools, such as audiobooks and editing software. Students benefit from interactive learning experiences, including virtual tours and grammar mini-lessons.
In STEM classes, students enhance their tech skills by coding in Python, programming Arduino robots, and using a 3D printer for innovative projects like creating interactive games and solving real-life problems.
