Mater Dei High School

iPad Program

For the 2012-2013 school year, every student and teaching faculty member will continue to utilize an Apple iPad 2, a device that will enhance students' learning and overall educational experience.

Some of the core objectives of this program include:

• replace some textbooks and other printed materials
• replace some calculators for math and science classes
• provide an organized note-taking platform
• provide an online research tool
• provide a platform to facilitate individual and group work
• provide an assessment tool for managing homework, class assignments, quizzes and tests
• provide a student organizer incorporating a Mater Dei e-mail address for improved class communication
• provide a platform for video or audio copies of lectures
• replace English and foreign language dictionaries and thesauruses
• 
  

Mater Dei intends to integrate the iPad into our music, theatre, choral and visual arts programs, as well as our many extracurricular programs.

Mater Dei remains committed to providing its students with the best education possible, equipping them with the knowledge and tools they will need both now and in the future.  Not only is the iPad a formidable tool in advancing learning, but it will also make the classroom experience more dynamic.
