"Technology Integration at CIS"
//by: James L. Kelley, CIS Curriculum Director//

Technology provides tools that enable us to locate and exchange information instantly. It expands our ability to communicate more effectively and to a wider audience. Technology development is rapid and ongoing, and the use of the tools it has supplied and will continue to supply has become indispensable for every modern human being. Thus, as educators, it is our responsibility to lead in the initiative to make technology both integral and effective in the world of today’s learner.

At CIS, we all have made the commitment to build a solid program for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that will succeed completely in meeting our goal of making the CIS experience one that will assure that all—learners, parents, teachers, administrators—can use all available resources to support their lifelong learning.

Our commitment is deep and wide. All our teachers have begun to actively study contemporary applications that will assist the learners they guide in the classroom. They are also committed to continue the acquisition of other applications and to improve their ability to use them in their instruction. Their efforts are completely supported by the leadership team at CIS, particularly by Mr. Rolly Maiquez, Director of ICT. Mr. Maiquez has been and will continue to be a great resource and an active, driving force in insuring that the use of technology in education at CIS will be inclusive and practical and unceasing.

The integration of modern technology at CIS will be an ongoing and never-ending process that all members of the community will be part of. It will require hours of effort and a sizable financial outlay, but these are incontrovertible facts. However, we know that we will succeed because it is the people here at CIS who are dedicated to successful integration of ICT throughout the curriculum and in every aspect of the school.
