Our students are some of the brightest in NYC, who challenge themselves everyday both in and out of the classroom. And though we expect all of our graduates to go on to four year universities, we do not have the resources to properly prepare them for the technological times we live in!! We are a school with countless afterschool activities, academic competitions, textbooks and tutoring sessions, but when it comes to technology we are severely lacking. Most teachers are still using overhead projectors and no classroom has a dedicated computer!! Even more upsetting is that in a school with over 3300 students there is only one classroom with computers that teachers can bring their classes to!? How can we prepare our students for college and the workforce beyond with the most basic tools of today's world? In any classroom computers can be used for writing papers, preparing presentations and surfing the web. Students can edit videos, prepare portfolios and conduct literature searches.
