The Alpha School continues to provide technology resources
that are available to our faculty and students. We are
constantly upgrading our equipment and adding additional
workstations to our network.

Alpha's program includes exposing all students to the latest in technology such as the use of computers.
Every classroom is equipped with high-tech equipment. Touch screen and other adaptive devices give even
the most severely disabled students the motivation and enjoyment of getting to use computers.
Access to computer technology allows teachers and students to explore new frontiers of knowledge.
It motivates our students in new ways, allows for students with different learning styles, and
puts special needs students at a more even par with their peers. At Alpha, we encourage our
students to become familiar with the different tools and resources that will enable them to
compete in the 21st century.

Traditionally, teachers have been the "keepers of knowledge" and have transmitted
this knowledge to students. Our teachers are responsible for presenting ideas to
students in a way that draws them into the excitement of learning. In classrooms,
technology is used to engage students in learning. Teachers provide opportunities for
students to solve problems, and share knowledge and responsibility. Students become
active learners. They discover concepts, apply skills by interacting with materials,
technology and other people. This type of discovery provides students with opportunities
to make decisions while figuring out new concepts. The Alpha philosophy is to allow students
to learn the way that they learn best.
