Innovation in the classroom starts with us in Information Technology.
We give all students access to unlimited storage via the cloud as well as Microsoft Office products, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint in the classroom and at home so they can complete multi-media projects.
Our students bring their own tablets, laptops and electronic devices to school to make classroom exercises more interactive. (We provide devices to those cannot afford them).
Students create video projects, blog, learn to write computer code and use their engineering skills to create designs via 3-D printers. They have access to an unlimited amount of safe and accurate information online through our digital literacy program.

Advice for Students Who are Being Cyber Bullied Ignore them - We already mentioned this. If you reply or respond to a message from a bully, he or she will know what they did worked on you. If you respond in kind, it will just show that you are not better than the bully. So, the best thing to do is to print the message, file it, and then delete it from your PC. There is a saying, "Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Contact the Service Provider - If you feel that the cyber bully has gone overboard, then you should already tell the moderator or service provider of the site about it. If cybermonsters are already faking your name or making a profile under your name without your knowledge, you can ask your service provider or moderator to remove the profile or email.
