Technology at Mackenzie
One of the important initiatives at Mackenzie this year is the implementation of technology in our teaching and learning practices. We know that technology and social media are all about learning, engagement and social networking. Our students are of the “i” generation: iPhone, iPod, iPad, Wii, iTunes etc.. To our students, www stands for “whatever, whenever, wherever”.
Technology has moved our world into areas of research and progress that were unimaginable only a decade ago. With this futuristic capability, comes great responsibility. We must use technology in positive ways that will enrich our society and lives. It is our hope that Mackenzie students and staff will have a fantastic 2011-12 school year, filled with great social and academic growth. The potential at Mackenzie is great!
