Trevor's belief that students should be active learners is supported perfectly by our use of technology throughout the school and beyond. The laptop computer, in particular, is central in helping our students become anytime anywhere learners. With their laptops in hand, they are poised to plug in not only to our intranet but also to the world beyond school via their wireless Internet connections. They learn to gather, compare and evaluate new information and to use their computers’ powerful tools to create, communicate, calculate and express their growing understanding. They become digital thinkers and life-long learners, ready to take on the 21st century future. After initiating our laptop program in 1996, we noticed that students' productivity, creativity and understanding rose substantially. Teachers who have tracked the program note that our students have become better writers and now are writing more than ever, thanks to their everyday use of word processing and their lightning-fast typing rates honed by the use of Instant Messaging. Options for students to communicate ideas in addition to writing have also increased, thanks to new and more powerful laptops. Students now create web sites, videos, dvds and other dynamic multimedia presentations to convey their knowledge and, thanks to our wireless network, they can and do produce work anytime, anywhere.

To learn more about Technology at Trevor, we invite you to browse a mini-site created by one of our students, now an alumnus. We can't think of a better way to describe our program and to let you experience a student presentation in action.
