LHS Math Department Gives Tech Update

LEMONT, IL — At its Oct. 15 meeting, the Lemont High School District 210 Board of Education received an update on how the Mathematics Department is benefitting from the school’s 1:1 teaching and learning program. The school said this was the sixth 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.

Mathematics Chair Kathy Young began the presentation, which focused on how the Desmos app benefits students. The school said she then handed it over to teachers Lauren Panek and Abbey Scupin, while students Joey Cantone, Anna Goranski, Kirsten Kash, Joe Tomecki and Vir Patel assisted members of the Board of Education with the app.

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, which include Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator and Global Collaborator. The school said each presentation typically touches on several ISTE Standards for Students.

Lemont High School’s 1:1 teaching and learning program - LNS@LHS - was fully implemented beginning with the 2017-18 school year. Each Lemont High School student is issued a Chromebook, enhancing academic opportunities across the school’s curriculum.
