Technology and Communication Arts

Innovate with Impact, Lead with Integrity.

At Merion Mercy, we view technology and communication as integral to learning today and preparing students to thrive in tomorrow’s world. For education to keep pace with the rapid advances in our society, we must continually develop, evaluate, and refine our educational approaches to support inquiry, collaboration, feedback, citizenship, local and global connections, and curricular personalization.

Merion Mercy Academy has developed a culture of intentional and thoughtful use of technology to support transformative teaching and learning. Our interdisciplinary approach to technology and communication arts prepares students to:

• Be skillful and responsible users of technology.

• Utilize digital tools to aid the learning process, not replace it.

• Use technology seamlessly across disciplines to solve specific problems.

• Understand the social, ethical, and cultural issues related to emerging technologies.

• Critically and methodically find and evaluate information.

• Investigate innovation, understand technology's impact on our world.
