We are all aware of the evolving and increasingly central role that technology plays in our lives at school, at work and at home. With this in mind, the Technological Education Department at Havergal College is committed to teaching students the skills they need to both harness the power of technology today and to anticipate the fast- paced changes they will face tomorrow. The Technological Education Department offers courses that introduce students to a broad range of technological skills. Students can take courses in Communications Technology where they learn the fundamentals of web design, video and multimedia production, animation and graphic design. Emphasis is placed on becoming proficient in all stages of production: meeting with a client, planning, designing, creating drafts and proofs and revising and distributing the final product. As well, students can choose to study the language of technology by taking our Computer Science courses where computer programming is the focus. Students

learn logical problem-solving skills by using common programming structures such as loops, conditional statements and arrays. Or, at the more advanced level, students learn object oriented programming in Java. Students are well-prepared to continue their studies in technology at the university level in programming, information and communication science, art and technological design and production. Our courses provide the opportunity to explore current industry standard software, including Photoshop, InDesign, GoLive, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack, LiveType, Motion, Dreamweaver, Flash and Microsoft Office. They have access to a superior broadband network and state-of-the-art computers and supporting hardware. Note: In Grades 7 and 8, technology is integrated into the curriculum, particularly in Science, Social Sciences and English.
