360-Degree Classrooms

Technology advances help students get up and move around the classroom while working on traditional math equations. In the Math Classroom in Timken 012, faculty and students alike take advantage of multiple projectors in the room.  The projectors aim at three walls of the classroom. Images project in front of white boards and retractable screens. The experimental audio-visual system allows teachers and students to work beyond to their desks and helps make math come alive.

Parents View Grades Online

Since switching to the OnCampus student information system at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, the Academic Office is no longer emailing report cards to parents.  Instead, parents can look at their student's progress through a secure password-protected online account and view grades as a PDF.  Under the Performance tab, parents are also able to view monitor letters and advisee reports.  The switch was a collaborative effort between the Academic Office and the Technology Office.

Taking Attendance by Phone App

This year saw a launch of the OnCampus system for taking attendance in class.  For the first time, faculty have the ability to save the mobile site to their smart phone home screens and take attendance directly from their smart phones.  This makes it easier to submit student attendance during the day for classes and other student commitments, such as athletics and activities.
