After many weeks of hard work and planning the new "Tech Lab" is just days away from being unveiled to the incoming students of STJ. From the desks to the computers, from the mouse pads to the teacher... it's all new!! On August 11th Mr. Beard will open the door to a new Technology Lab and all of its exciting and innovative tools!!

Apps in Education

Searching for the right app can be exhausting. I've found a great website appsineducation.com that simplifies the process. The site is easy to navigate and makes choosing the right app for your need easy as pie. They've organized apps into categories along with giving a brief description of each one. The site also allows people to rate the apps so you know whether its worth your time, and sometimes money, up front. Check it out and get your app on!

Coming soon...

The Leu Technology Lab is in the process of a complete renovation. In the upcoming school year our students will learn, develop, create, and innovate using today's newest and most exciting technology tools. Check these out:

• MacBooks
• iPads
• HD Camera

• Improved Green Screen Room
