Technology

Technology, along with 21st century skills, plays an important role in the lives of students today. Our school is committed to improve student achievement in the use of computer technology through its integration in all subject areas. Our teachers encourage their students to use technology tools available in our school and, particularly, to use them to present ideas, enhance creativity, organize thoughts and communicate effectively in a variety of way.

Our goal is to give our students the knowledge, attitude and skills necessary to become computer literate

Quest Atlantis

Quest Atlantis (QA) is an international learning and teaching project that uses a 3D multi-user environment to immerse children, ages 9-16, in educational tasks. QA combines strategies used in the commercial gaming environment with lessons from educational research on learning and motivation. Participation in this game is designed to enhance the lives of children while helping them grow into knowledgeable, responsible, and empathetic adults. More information about this program is available on the Quest Atlantis web page.

Summit Middle School is participating in this pilot project with Indiana University. Please see Mr. Lynn or Ms. Elkan if you have any questions about this program.
