Technology

Technology facilitates communication and collaboration at Swift School and beyond our walls.

It plays a pivotal role in accessing information, exercising critical thinking, and exploring innovation. Technology empowers Swift students to become self-reliant, lifelong learners.

Students in all grade levels will have one-to-one devices

Swift School provides iPads for first through third grade students. Fourth grade is a transition year in which the school provide Chromebooks. Students in fifth through eighth grade continue to participate in a bring-your-own Chromebook program.

Lower Division

For our youngest students, technology serves to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Students engage in interactive lessons designed specifically for their learning profiles.
 

Child-friendly apps present novel opportunities to:

  • Advance literacy skills

  • Showcase strengths
  • Explore new avenues for learning

Swift is excited to offer a device for each student to be used in the classroom. First through third graders use ipads that are supplied by Swift School, and fourth grade students begin a transition year by using a Swift School supplied Chromebook.

Middle Division Technology

In Middle Division, students participate in a bring-your-own Chromebook program. Students expand technology skills and take increased ownership of their learning. They develop a “digital toolkit” to be utilized in a variety of contexts.


Swift students learn proficient use of digital resources including:

  • Creativity and productivity tools
  • Assistive technology
  • Applications to support executive skills
  • Science/Technology/Engineering/Arts/Math (STEAM) tools

Chromebooks are ideally suited for the use of Google Apps for Education, a suite of programs designed for productivity and collaboration. Parents, students, and teachers alike make a compelling argument for the use of a uniform device to facilitate content delivery and assignment management.

Student-owned devices are optimal for:

  • Providing seamless access to schoolwork between school and home environments
  • Promoting independence and accountability
  • Increasing awareness of individual learning needs and preferences
  • Preparing for life beyond Swift
