Technology
In 1999 St. Joseph Hill Academy designed and implemented the WITAC (Women Integrating Technology And Curriculum) program. The program requires that all students purchase laptops (from a common laptop service provider) for use in each of the major curriculum areas.
In September 2002 a videoconferencing and distance learning center was set up. The school intends to form partnerships with other high schools, colleges, and universities to provide and receive otherwise unavailable content and instruction.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
