Technology
Technology is used at Brady Exploration High School to enhance the learning experience for students and to provide them with access to a wide range of resources and tools.
Technology can help students to develop important skills, such as digital literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving. It can also provide students with opportunities to collaborate with peers, engage in interactive learning experiences and access information and resources that may not be available in traditional classrooms.
Additionally, technology can be used to support students with disabilities by providing them with assistive technology and accommodations that can help them access the curriculum and participate in classroom activities.
Technology is an important tool at BXHS that can help to support student learning and engagement in meaningful and innovative ways.
To learn more about these digital learning applications, please contact the digital teacher librarian.
