To make a welcoming environment for all students to improve technology integration and
increase student computer utilization by establishing a new lab consisting of 36 Chromebooks, software,
36 iclickers, 2 Bluetooth printers and ink, 2 3D printers and ink, all new furniture (desks, chairs and
alternative seating), and power strips/extension cords. With the help of these materials teachers will be
able to provide differentiation for all students, create an equitable learning environment, increase active
learning and allow students to work at their own level and pace.
It is our common vision that every student Incarnation Catholic Academy can be provided
excellent technology-related instruction. For our students to be successful now and in the future, we
must continue to grow professionally and consider technology in every aspect of the curriculum, not as
