Technology
Walsh Jesuit is pleased to offer a 1:1 technology environment.
Technology Overview
Our teachers integrate a variety of digital learning platforms on a daily basis. Technology at WJ explores and expands learning and creativity in a deliberate way with our identity as Ignation educators.
Walsh Jesuit uses a 1:1 technology initiative in which all students utilize iPads with Bluetooth keyboards as educational tools. These devices allow the students to access myWJ, where teachers post syllabi, assignments, and resources for class. iPads facilitate mobile learning and communication, reinforcing technology skills students will use in college. While many educational goals are accomplished with our impressive software and online resources, we believe in 'unplugging' and regulating technology free time to help foster authentic and meaningful relationships.
