Technology & Connectivity

●      ALH recognizes that sufficient access to computing devices and high-speed internet are essential for educational equity; and that technology knowledge and skills are vital for full participation in 21st Century life, work, and citizenship. To ensure sufficient access to technology ALH is:
○      Surveying all parents/guardians and staff to identify the level of access to high speed broadband Internet.
○      Implementing a one to one Chromebook program in which every student will be issued a Chromebook for use at home and in school.
●      ALH currently provides teachers with a laptop.
●      ALH will evaluate staff job functions to determine technology needs. ALH will ensure staff have adequate access to technology.
●      ALH will provide professional development for staff and teachers on designing effective remote/online learning experiences, best practices for instruction in remote/online settings, and digital fluency.
●      ALH teachers and the student support team will partner with families to provide both support and flexibility to students participating remote/blended/online learning experiences.
●      To the extent possible ALH will be paperless and not require students participating in online/remote learning environments to print assignments. ALH will utilize online platforms to post and upload educational materials and assignments.

ALH has invested in 18 new 65” SMART Interactive Whiteboards to be placed in all full-size classrooms. In addition to the Interactive Boards a streaming program called View Path will be installed in all 18 rooms. This will allow for a more interactive hybrid learning environment for both in class students and remote students.
- All students in school and remote will be able to interact with one another via the streaming solution.
- All remote students will have the ability to view the board as if they were in the classroom, removing the barriers that would otherwise be if we use a traditional camera recording platform.
