Social Voice Media and Social Voice Online Magazine are two examples of student-centered technology projects.

Technology integration is a key component to a student's academic success. In IMPACT, we guarentee that students will use a computer every day.

By the end of the year, they will create an electronic portfolio and website, design and implement an independent research project, participate in all aspects of making a documentary in addition to learning word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, blogging, wikis, concept mapping and other skills.

Technology integration prepares students for future success in their college, career and community.

College - Universities are already shifting toward higher levels of technology integration. IMPACT students will have gained these skills before they enter high school.

Career - Within the next few decades, nearly every career will require some type of technology literacy. Those who have the skills will be more competitive in the global market.

Community Technology has the ability to connect students to a global village and help the community. Yet, it also has the potential to destroy community. Therefore, we engage students in a dialogue about using technology responsibly.
