 | | At Flint Hill School, we use technology as a means to help us better serve our overall mission and philosophy. At the heart of our program is the belief that technology is not just hardware and software, but also the web of personal relationships that supports us as we use technology to become better problem solvers, deeper thinkers, and more creative and efficient producers. We recognize that the rapid pace of technological change means that "learning how to learn" new technologies is as important as learning any specific application or hardware. Whenever possible, technology use is integrated with subject-specific curricular goals and is project-based, enhancing rather than replacing other grade-level objectives. Always, we stress the ethical and safe use of information technologies. |
Lower School
In the Lower School, we use the computer lab to teach specific skills while concurrently incorporating technology into classroom work and projects through the use of Tablets.  The Lower School technology curriculum is carefully sequenced and includes word processing, printing, use of the Internet, creation of multimedia presentations, keyboarding, scanning, and spreadsheets. |

 | Middle School Throughout all Middle School core courses, technology instruction is infused into the curriculum to prepare students to be knowledgeable, ethical members of the evolving Information Age.  The goal is to equip students with the technological skills needed to enhance learning at Flint Hill and, later, in college. Students are instructed in keyboarding, word processing, using the Internet, and manipulating graphics using scanners, digital cameras and presentation software. In addition, they are exposed to databases, spreadsheets, and web page creation. Many projects are collaborative and enhance team building, listening, and organizational skills. |

 | Upper School In the Upper School, the goal is to use processing tools and communication channels in the classroom to enable students to do authentic work in a project-based environment.  Upper School students are taught basic file management within a network environment, components of the Microsoft Office suite, and specialized programs such as Geometer's Sketchpad in math class and Adobe Photoshop and PageMaker in yearbook. Stand-alone courses are offered in computer programming and 3D animation. The History, Library and Technology Departments cooperate to teach research and presentation skills, including proper citation for print, electronic and Internet sources. By graduation, all upper school students are expected to have the skills listed in the Technology Learning Outcomes scope and sequence, which is revisited regularly. |
