Technology

Technology courses are essential to every Catholic school curriculum. In fact, technology is required to be integrated throughout each course of study from Mathematics to Religion. The use of technology in the 21st century is integral to preparing students for college and career success. Technology courses in Catholic schools cover a variety of lessons including Research and Information Fluency, Digital Citizenship, Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration. All of these units are taught and influenced by the lens of Catholic identity and the dignity of all humankind.

Technology in the Classroom

St. John the Evangelist School students will have access to cutting-edge technology and a curriculum that prepares students to be leaders in a digital world. Our students enjoy access to the following resources and technology in the classrooms.

  • STEM Lab
  • K-5 Students have 1:1 chromebooks
  • Middle School students have 1:1 surface pro tablets
  • iPad cart for preschool students
  • Smartboards with projectors in every classroom 

3D Printing

In addition to the core technology integrated curriculum, 3D printing has been added as an activity to enhance instruction throughout many of the schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

On May 5, 2015, Archbishop William E. Lori held a press conference to announce an exciting new initiative that seeks to put a 3D printer in every Archdiocesan school. The initiative is made possible due to support from the Embracing Our Mission ~ Shaping Our Future capital campaign, a generous donation by Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Croteau, and our technology and curriculum partners, 3D Systems and STEAMTrax.

3D printing is considered a “game-changer” for schools, as they provide children with unparalleled access to innovative technology used by engineers, astronauts on the International Space Station, and medical professionals and scientists.

St. John the Evangelist School students will have access to this same technology and a curriculum that allows our students to become more ready every day for future discoveries and advances we have yet envisioned.
