"Preparing students to compete in a global economy and expanding their ability to use technology wisely, competently, and effectively is now a major requirement for school boards."

By creating a media-rich learning environment, we are not only able to use technology as a tool for sharing knowledge, we are also able to ensure they are technology-literate.  This provides our students with the learning skills and knowledge they will need to be successful in today's increasingly technologically-focused society.

Exactly!  Our goal for all of our students is to prepare them to take on any challenges they may experience in the world.  This is essential because we want to provide our ELLs with the foundational knowledge to be active participants in both their learning and be able to confidently participate in their larger community. By learning these skills, our students will be able to effectively use technology as a way to communicate, research, understand, collaborate, and create!

Our ELLs are in a unique and very valuable situation because they are able to use technology to capitalize on their dual-language abilities.  While we may not be able to communicate in the first language of our students, technology allows us to communicate in many different languages using translation apps and programs.  With the student-centred approach to 21st century learning, our ELLs are able to enhance both their first language and English skills.  By having strength in both languages, our ELLs are able to not only develop the necessary skills of 21st century learners, but also to continue to connect with their cultural background and enhance potential career opportunities.
