We believe that technology is a tool. It is not an education itself, and it does not and should not take the place of a well trained professional teacher. It can, however, motivate students and enhance the curriculum, and bring to the fingertips of every student a storehouse of research and information which expands student learning and strengthens teaching.

In addition to a sound background in traditional academics, today's students must be competent and confident in using a wide range of technology in a variety of settings. Today, and in the future, most career paths require the use of computers, robotics, and related technology. In short, students must be as comfortable using a computer or other technology as they would using a pencil and paper. Most importantly, students must have access to technology on a regular basis in their classroom environment so they can become proficient in using it in many ways. They must be encouraged and guided to use technology as a tool to access information and to efficiently develop dynamic, effective projects.

Within Carlisle we have 330 computers, and 45 printers for both staff and student use. We also have Digital Cameras, Scanners, and Multimedia setups, to allow students to create and present classroom projects.
