Campus Technology Overview
Palisades Charter High School offers a wide range of technology tools to support our community. Our aim is to create a learning environment where technology is ubiquitous, secure, stable and appropriate. Our teaching staff are provided with iPads for mobility and either laptops or desktop workstations, depending upon which device best supports their lessons. The campus is multi-platform, supporting Windows, Apple and Google operating systems. We have ten computer labs: three general purpose labs, and seven dedicated to specific subjects; Journalism, Computer Skills, Computer Programming, Photography, Graphic Design, Environmental Science, and Film. In addition, we have iPad and laptop carts available for classroom projects. Our campus network is filtered and monitored to provide stable and secure access to the internet.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
1:1 Program Overview
Palisades Charter High School is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) learning environment. Students are welcome to bring tablets, smartphones, laptops or Chromebooks to campus to support their education. Our Technology Department team assists with wifi connectivity, accessing digital textbooks, and general troubleshooting across multiple platforms (iOS, Yosemite, Windows 7-10, and Android).
PCHS provides high-speed wireless Internet access to all students who sign our Acceptable Use Policy and demonstrate continuous, ethical Digital Citizenship practices throughout the school year. A Single Sign On system allows students simplified access to our cross-curricular, cross-platform tools: Google Apps for Education, Office 365, Schoology, and Atomic Learning. A team of technology coaches support classroom technology integration ensuring that all students have access to core technology lessons.
Our 9th grade students learn in a 1:1 Program, which emphasizes iPads but welcomes all device types. Families of 9th grade students may borrow an iPad for their student to use during the school year. If you have any questions about our Technology program, need advice about the right device for your student, assistance with digital textbooks, or any other technology issue, please contact Donna Mandosa at dmandosa@palihigh.org.
GAFE
At PCHS we believe in the power of collaboration. Our Google Apps for education pilot aims to foster peer collaboration through unified email communication, shared file storage in the cloud and free access to core academic productivity tools. We provide GAFE accounts for all our students and will integrate GAFE with Schoology, our LMS, in the future. In addition, our Temescal Academy is a 1:1 touchscreen Chromebook classroom environment.
Digital Citizenship
The PCHS educational mission is to “empower our diverse student population to make positive contributions to the global community”. In the digital age, it is vital that students understand their roles as Digital Citizens. Our technology, leadership and academic staff have collaborate to develop a year-long series of workshops that bring issues of Digital Footprints, Online Safety, Plagiarism, Law and Etiquette into our classrooms. In addition, we offer workshops to ensure that parents have the tools and skills to support their teens’ in the development of healthy technology use.
STEAM Shop / Auto Shop
The Pali STEAM Shop is a three-year project to expand non-traditional and hand’s-on learning opportunities on our campus. Students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math through projects that combine traditional shop tools and digital innovations like 3D printers or CAD develop the grit, ingenuity, flexibility and perseverance that modern employers seek. We currently offer hand’s-on learning in classes like MESA, EAST, Fabric Arts, Life Skills, and Integrated Science. Currently sharing space with our re-opened Auto Shop, the STEAM Shop will serve as an innovation space supporting an expansion of hand’s-on across the curriculum. If you would like more information, please email steamshop@palihigh.org or sign up to volunteer here: http://goo.gl/forms/m65BLi5Q1R
