How do we understand technology?
We do not define it as modern or digital equipment in itself, but as the tool that the student masters and applies in the development of the different areas of knowledge.
What skills do they acquire through technology?
Problem solving
We encourage the use of digital tools to find solutions to given problems. In the process, students learn to apply technology, cultivating patience, resilience and solidarity.
Creativity and critical thinking
By examining different options to solve a specific problem, students develop their creativity and critical thinking, understanding all the variables that can affect a solution.
At the service of others
The use of technology makes sense if the technique employed allows growth at the personal and community levels, favoring the common good.
Technology in the daily life of our school
We have different technological tools that improve education and knowledge acquisition, making them more meaningful for students:
Interactive whiteboards
The Mathematics, Communication, History and Science classes use this tool that allows dynamic interaction and collaborative work in class.
Learning digital platforms
We work with various platforms, such as Raz-Kids®, BrainPOP®, Scholastic®, Socrative®, Sora®, Peardeck®, Nearpod®, Kahoot®, Mentimeter®, Google Education, among others.
Design Digital Platforms (CAD Software)
We use specialized design software such as Adobe®, AutoCAD®, Tinkercad®, Fusion360®, Lightburn®, among others.
Digital platforms and devices for computational thinking
We have a line of robotics equipment of the brand Mblock®, Bee-bot, Blue-bot, Ozo-bot, among others. In addition, we encourage the development of computational thinking with apps such as Scratch Junior®, Scratch®, Makeblock®, Python®, among others.
Digital Devices
We use digital equipment such as 3D printers, 3D pens, laser cutters, Arduino modules, A3 printer, virtual lenses, drones, among others.
Parameter sensors
Laboratory practices in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as research projects, are carried out using various sensors to assess parameters.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Different projects worked on in our school aim to integrate different areas of knowledge and, within them, some involve the use of technological tools to solve problems after previous research.
MakerSpace
El MakerSpace es un espacio en el que nuestras alumnas tienen a su disposición una serie de herramientas manuales y digitales para construir sus proyectos. Allí se promueve el trabajo colaborativo, el liderazgo, la búsqueda de soluciones y la innovación, teniendo una mirada humana e integrando diversos conocimientos para resolver una problemática en particular.
El MakerSpace cuenta con herramientas como tableros de dibujo técnico, equipos de cómputo para el trabajo con software especializado para diseño, artefactos para prototipado como impresoras 3D, cortadora láser, cortadora de vinil, además de dispositivos para realidad aumentada y virtual, lapiceros 3D, entre otros.
