The STEM faculty will continue to integrate technology into all curricular areas. The netbooks we currently use will not be available to us next year, so we are currently exploring grants and corporate sponsorships for technology funding sources for our 2012-2013 technology. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee technology for next year. Parents, as always, are allowed to supply their students with their own personal technology. Below is a list of possible choices. The list is not exhaustive, but shows the minimum requirements needed for RSA curricular needs.
