Technology – Citizens Christian Academy

Technology is integrated into the curriculum at Citizens Christian Academy to enhance traditional classroom methods. Studies show that technology integration in the classroom improves students’ learning processes and outcomes. Students are often more engaged in their learning when technology is integrated into a lesson. Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering effective ways for teachers to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding.

All of our students have access to computers in our classrooms, in the computer lab, and in the Media Center.

“I like to learn on the ActivBoard. I like the ActiVote.” – CCA 1st Grader

Each classroom from Pre-K3 through 12th Grade have been updated to smart classrooms featuring Promethean ActivBoard and Whiteboards. Each student can interact through instructional learning with handheld ActiVotes and ActivExpressions. The “smartboards” enhance the educational experience of our students. Teachers are able to access the internet for subject specific videos and information – from math to science, English class (i.e. correct sentence structure) and subject immersion in history.

The ActivBoards are equipped with touchscreen technology. Students can use a special pen or even their fingers to use math tools, free form draw, or even send a friendly message to their teacher. Students are eager to participate in learning games, and in general, education is “more fun.”
