Technology

ITA’s vision is based on teaching all of our student’s 21st century skills. ITA believes that this is an imperative part of student success. An important component of this is the ability to work with all forms of technology. ITA has a dedicated, full-time technology teacher whose only focus is the technological achievement of our students. Students work both in the media center as well as wood shop room to learn everything from word processing to solar energy to aeronautics.

ITA uses specialized on-line assessments and software to make sure results are timely and relevant for our students and families.

In addition to the media center, computers can be found in each classroom as well as the ITA Resource Room.  Each teacher is provided a laptop in order to ensure greater efficiency and productivity. ITA also utilizes mimeos which are interactive whiteboards. This technology, like SMART boards, ensures student’s engagement in the learning process.

Teachers are availed to the most up to date resources and text books.

ITA has just installed brand new networks and servers. ITA’s network has within it only the newest technology at its source. A Cisco© network uses the latest in wiring technology (CAT6) to team with the newest Sonic Wall© firewall to ensure student safety.

ITA fully complies with all student privacy and safety measures regulated by local, state, and federal authorities. To this end, ITA uses the new Sonic Wall© firewall to investigate and filter all incoming and outgoing traffic.
