Technology

Research, analyze, problem solve, create, communicate, and collaborate using a variety of tools and media.

At Walker's, we have a dedicated dean of academic technology and innovation who works with faculty and students to integrate technology into Walker's teaching and learning environment. As freshwomen, all students participate in a seminar where topics such as creating your digital footprint, digital citizenship and differentiated learning styles at a private school are explored.

Our students have the tools to navigate the opportunities and challenges of a complex and rapidly changing world of technology.

You will collaborate with your peers and teachers using a core suite of web-based tools, including Google Apps for Education (GAFE). You’ll become a responsible digital citizen, and our teachers will connect you to resources that best suit your learning style, pace, and potential.

You'll be in the driver's seat of your own learning

You'll be in the driver's seat of your own learning with classroom technology that seamlessly allows for inquiry, collaboration, and presentation. You'll learn in spaces that are designed to be flexible, and that allow for brainstorming, iteration, and hands-on learning.

You'll have instant access to the wealth of learning resources online via our high-speed broadband wireless Internet. You'll also learn to strike a healthy balance between screen time and "unplugging."
