There are numerous studies that support the argument of utilizing technology in the classroom. However, it is only truly effective when staff and students are equipped with the training needed to use it both successfully and ethically. Without proper guidance, even the most advanced tools can become overwhelming, underused, or misused, limiting their impact on learning. By investing in meaningful professional development for teachers, we ensure that technology enhances instruction rather than complicating it, empowering educators to confidently integrate digital resources into their classrooms. At the same time, training students to use technology responsibly fosters digital literacy, safety, and ethical decision-making—skills essential for navigating today’s connected world. When both staff and students are well-prepared, technology becomes a powerful, purposeful asset that supports learning, collaboration, and the values of the school community.

In a Catholic school setting, technology takes on an additional layer of purpose. While academic excellence remains a priority, the use of digital tools becomes a means of supporting our mission to form the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Technology allows students to access rich religious resources, connect with the global Church, and engage with Scripture and Catholic teachings in deeper and more meaningful ways. When used wisely, it enhances our ability to share the Gospel and strengthen students’ growth in faith.

Just as importantly, technology in a Catholic school must be rooted in responsibility, moral discernment, and the values of our faith. We teach students not only how to use digital tools, but how to use them well—safely, ethically, and with respect for themselves and others. By grounding technology use in Catholic social teaching, we help form digital citizens who recognize the dignity of every person, who use technology to build community rather than division, and who understand their role in using their gifts to serve the world. In this way, technology becomes not just a tool, but a pathway for living out our Catholic identity in a modern world.

Divine Savior provides access to 1:1 learning for its students but introduces that technology gradually. In 3K-5K, shared iPads and Chromebooks are available when needed, giving them early exposure in a developmentally appropriate way. In grades 1–8, each student is assigned a Chromebook that stays in the classroom.
