ASIJ’s Guiding Statement: Teaching and Learning in a Technology-rich

Environment

Our Vision for Teaching and Learning

“All students will be prepared to meet the challenges of a dynamic global society in which they collaborate, communicate, create and innovate through ubiquitous access to people, information and ideas.”

• “We believe that a technology-rich environment enables teachers to design work that emphasizes 21st century learning.

• Students will become empowered collaborators and communicators, seekers and consumers of information, and creators of knowledge and media-rich products.

• They will work on projects requiring higher level thinking, and critical and creative decision-making and problem-solving.”

ASIJ Educates Students to become:

• Effective Communicators• Literate Individuals• Critical Thinkers and Problem-Solvers• Self-Directed, Productive Learners• Constructive Community Members

Developing Responsible Cyber Citizens

“Are media good or bad for kids?

Media platforms themselves are neutral...”

“To youth, social media and technologies are not something extra added on to their lives; they’re embedded in their lives.”

“There’s no one-size-fits-all, once-and-for-all solution to providing children with every aspect of online safety.”
