This active committee of school professionals works to integrate technology into instruction in all academic areas. Multimedia presentations, online safety and research methods are reinforced through hands-on, interactive practice and learning. Software programs are used to further develop academic instruction. In addition, the Technology Committee is developing a strategic plan for technology for the school, including a plan for software, hardware and student technology standards to guide instruction.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Neeskara technology, please contact the school office at (414) 256-8600.
