Technology at Maranacook Community Middle School

Learning to be safe, responsible and respectful information consumers and creators with technology is an important piece of a Maranacook Middle School experience. Each student is issued a MacBook Air and is given instruction on how to take care of and maintain their learning device. They are taught and expected to take responsibility for their laptop as well as develop personal strategies to improve organization, productivity, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and effective communication over the course of their time here. Teachers support them by designing lessons and projects where students continually apply and refine their tech skills while learning the required subject matter. Teachers and advisors assist them in making positive choices with technology in and out of school. Some may make poor choices along the way, but we have many safeguards in place here at school to protect them and help them learn from these mistakes. We try to work with parents as a team and look forward to working with you to help your son or daughter be a safe, respectful and responsible digital citizen.
