Technology Philosophy

At Monument Academy we believe the integration of technology into our classical curriculum serves to support and enhance our students’ learning. We are purposeful and careful in our planning and understand that it is not about the technology itself but rather how we use it to enrich the learning process.  Our program allows us to put educational materials from a variety of sources into every student’s hands and support significant components of learning: active engagement, group participation, multiple ways to learn, frequent feedback and reinforcement, and connection to experts in the real-world. The use of technology as a learning tool helps our students to take responsibility for their learning and to become creators and critical thinkers. We work to ensure that our students know how and when to use technology and are able to use these tools safely and wisely. It is our goal to provide our students access to appropriate technology tools as they progress academically in the classroom and to inspire and prepare them for their future in our modern world.

How We Use Technology

It is our philosophy that our students are best served by integrating technology in a meaningful way. We teach our students to use it purposefully to enhance and refine their curriculum and learning. We do not believe in using technology simply for the sake of technology or that it should be used as a reward or for busywork. Technology makes further exploration more accessible, refines and enriches projects, and develops critical thinking skills. Additionally, adaptive and individualized online programs like Reflex Math and Boost Reading improve students fluency and make rote learning more fun.
