Head of Technology

MYP Technology at ISHCMC is essentially concerned with solving problems in an effort to encourage students to combine intellectual talents and  practical skills.  In particular, students are encouraged to display ingenuity and creativity in devising practical solutions to  given tasks. 

Technology at our school is valuable for reinforcing and integrating skills learned in other disciplines, especially in the presentation and handling of data and the processes involved in the design and manufacture of a product. At the same time, it fosters awareness of the social and ethical implications of technological development. I am lucky enough to have been a part of this school for over 10 years.

Throughout my time here, the development of Technology has been central to school wide planning. Students at ISHCMC are able to work with the full range of Adobe's industy standard software, while at the same time aquiring the skills necessary to adapt to an ever developing industry. Our syllabi provide a fun and stimulating environment with the student firmly placed at the centre of curriculum design. Walk through a Technology classroom and you may see students working with Desk top Publishing software, retouching photographs, editing video or sound for picture. They could be composing electronic music using the latest midi software, developing 3D computer models , developing computer games and annimations or creating a final product in our workshop. We cannot showcase all that we do, however, please take the time to look at some of our students wonderful achievements. Click here.
