Technology

Tech Integrators are a fundamental part of the process: they are specialists in educational technology who collaborate with teachers to identify transformative applications of technology, ensuring tech use is inquiry-based, interdisciplinary, and extends learning beyond the campus walls.

In the project E-motion, we partner with Hospital Menino de Jesus to create electric, interactive boards that will serve as rehabilitation tools. Students learn about electrical circuits, coding with Arduino while leveraging AI, investigating human-centered design, vector drawing, and laser cutting.

Second graders used iPad cameras to capture their surroundings and the Photos app to transform them. Using markup and editing, students drew birds, monsters, and nature onto their photos. This intervention challenged students to reimagine the physical environment through a creative digital lens.

At NSTI, Avenues welcomed outside educators to our campus to experience our pedagogical practices through learning pathways, including a strand on AI. In a two-day deep dive, we engaged in conversations about responsible AI integration, professional learning design, and critical approaches to ethical use.
