Thriving Together
Computers & Technology
Laguna Blanca provides a technologically rich learning environment where teaching and learning are enhanced by using appropriate technology as part of the curriculum. We also teach our students how to be responsible digital citizens. The Technology Department uses the latest in content filtering tools for student Internet use and expects all students to observe the guidelines established in the Responsible Use Policy.
Middle School students also participate in the Laptops for Learning Program where they engage daily in technology based activities in many of their classes using their own personal laptops.
