LHS Board Of Education Receives Tech Update From Student Services

LEMONT, IL — At its Nov. 19 meeting, the Lemont High School Board of Education received an update on how the Student Services Department utilizes technology to benefit students. The school said this was the seventh in a series of presentations to the Board of Education by Lemont High School’s academic departments, dating back to the 2017-18 school year.

Student Services Chair Denise Dalton was joined by counselor Stephanie Bushnell and dean Brent Gagnon for the presentation, the school said. A variety of topics were covered including the new tardy kiosk; online resources for students, including the Illinois Career Information System; the impact of technology on the Dean’s Office; and non-tech related ways the Student Services Department is using to influence the school’s climate and culture.

A common theme of the departmental presentations to the Board of Education is discussing how the activity relates to the seven International Society for Technology in Education Standards for Students. The school said these standards include Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator and Global Collaborator. Each presentation typically touches on several ISTE Standards for Students.
