This Technology Orientation is part of Joliet Township High School’s 1:1 technology initiative that gives every JTHS student 24/7 access to technology by providing laptop computers that are used in school and at home. JTHS believes that the integration of technology is essential to motivating and engaging students in rigorous and relevant lessons. 1:1 technology provides anytime/anywhere learning and opens the doors to the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that students need to compete and contribute in our global society.
