Technology

Orange is a technology rich district that has been recognized locally, state-wide and nationally in recent years for its ability to seamlessly integrate technology within student learning. 

Collaboration is key in order for technology to enhance the high quality learning experiences students are exposed to at Orange Schools. Access to technology is essential for our students if they are to learn and apply these skills to real-world tasks. 

As the Technology Department continues to assist teachers and students, new technology deployments support them with the teaching and learning tools required to develop 21st Century Learners. 

Classroom Technology

Over 1500 pieces of technology equipment have been distributed across the Orange City School campus. The student to computer ratio falls well within the eTech Ohio guideline of 5:1 at all grade levels.  The entire campus is wired for technology applications and the addition of wireless networking capabilities now makes the entire campus a wireless hot spot. Teachers and students equipped with wireless computers can access our data network and the Internet from almost any area on campus.

Many elementary classrooms are outfitted with NetTV monitors that are capable of displaying DVD, VCR, and computer supplied signals.  Some of these same classrooms are equipped with Phonic Ear audio enhancement equipment.

At the secondary level schools are supplied with a variety of computing environments including wireless mobile computer labs, multi-media labs, hands on technology labs, student response systems, and interactive white boards.

Teachers use technology in daily lessons to engage, stimulate, simulate, and generate ideas and authentic learning across the curriculum.
