Purposeful technology integration is one of essential elements of instruction to develop 21st century skills. Students improve their skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration with many applications for education. Possibilities to make learning meaningful are countless. Students can access out of class resources, collaborate with their friends, and work on their projects without limiting themselves in a physical classroom. That results higher student achievements in schools and improving student motivation (Hamilton, 2007).

CJCPCS has invested technology to improve student achievement and engagement by modernizing its classrooms with Smartboards, starting 1:1 Chromebook program with interactive e-textbooks, instant assessments tools, and online resources, and keep training teachers.

1:1 Chromebook program will be implemented in grades 3 throuh 5 and K-2 students will be provided Google tablets in school. Teachers will be able to use educational application related to their classes and conduct mini assessments to check for understanding. Our curriculums come with many tools that can be used with Smartboards and teachers enriched instructions with many educational applications available online.
