3.5 The institution integrates digital resources into teaching, learning, and operations to improve professional practice, student performance, and organizational effectiveness.
Since the last accreditation visit, we have made an effort to bring the use of technology to the classroom as a digital transformation experience rather than a substitution. Today, our students master tools and concepts that we previously thought they were not capable of handling. Transversal projects such as: PBL Implementation, New SIS implementation, Digital Learning Program, Bring Your Own Device, Bring Your Own Chromebook, Robotics, Coding and Digital Citizenship, have been aligned with initiatives based on Google for Education, such as: Google Summit for Staff, Chromebooks in classrooms, Google Classroom, Google Certified Educators, among others. The development of these initiatives has made the School manage to develop a high level of integration of technological resources in the learning, teaching and operational experience every day.
On the other hand, the pandemic accelerated the use of communication technologies in Education, managing to rapidly develop a number of skills typical of an Innovative Thinker. Students now have the facility to meet and discuss using online tools, as well as work in projects from home with their classmates without having to be together in person. The options are endless and at the School we take advantage of this situation, to use each digital resource in the most intelligent way possible, always promoting the design of collaborative solutions to real problems, and the communication of ideas in a creative way to a real audience.
