Keith said that in addition to all of these
various technologies, she has enjoyed
using online testing during final exams,
especially for the sake of expediency.
“I was finished with exams at 2:00, and
grades were in by 2:30 this year,” said
Keith. Keith said she imagines more
teachers will take to online testing in
the coming school years.
Keith said the school Tech Committee

Mammen said that the school is
working hard to stay up to date with the
needs of the people around them. “If
there is an industry that comes here, we

PDF file on the board and give a handout
of the same thing so they can follow

Keith said that there are teachers at the
school who get a little caught up in the
learning curve that comes with these

in class when learning how to use the
boards.
“Some of our feeder schools have
these boards, and some of them don’t.
We have to try to keep the balance in
experience,” said Mammen, who said it
wouldn’t be good for students who have
seen these to come here and not continue
to use them.
Keith added that the Promethean Boards
are useful for all of the departments in
the school.
