Albany Academy & Albany Academy for Girls
Led by Dr. Terrell Neuage
The Technology Department at Albany Academy and Albany Academy for Girls, under the direction of Dr. Terrell Neuage, is dedicated to integrating technology into education to foster creative and critical thinking in a global society. Dr. Neuage, an Australian-USA citizen, brings expertise in globalization and culture, teaching courses such as Computer Concepts to prepare students for a technology-driven world.
This page serves as a growing repository of information on the use of technology in our classrooms, supporting faculty, staff, and students in leveraging technology as a tool for learning.
The mission of technology at Albany Academy and Albany Academy for Girls is to optimize, enhance, and expedite creative and critical thinking in a technology-based global society. Technology is integrated into cross-discipline curriculums to develop cognitive skills necessary for communication in a diverse global culture.
Software and hardware available in each department prepare students for lifelong learning in both the arts and academics. Technology at the Academies encourages problem-solving, exploration, and learning both in and out of the classroom, promoting higher-order thinking and technological literacy within a student-centered learning environment.
Feedback: The mission statement is in development, and suggestions are welcome. Please contact the Technology Department for input.
Technology should enable active, rather than passive, learning systems. The proposed Electronic Experience Learning System (EELS), conceptualized by Dr. Terrell Neuage, aims to empower students to use software creatively with current and future-oriented technology.
Modern technology is increasingly individualized, offering opportunities for personal expression through devices like cell phones (custom ring tones, colors) and computers (screensavers, icons, software preferences). With the world as a potential audience via blogs, emails, and webpages, students need tools for self-expression in a global communicative environment. Technology thus evolves from an end in itself to a vehicle supporting all disciplines.
The Technology Group meets regularly to discuss and advance technology integration. Meeting agendas and dates will be listed here. As this is a public site, discussions and outcomes will not be posted.
