After the pandemic caused an increase in screen time for so many, it’s understandable that there is now a wariness about technology’s role in education. However, with emerging technologies like AI, IoT and Quantum Computing dominating the
workplace, it is crucial that our education system adapts. By integrating technology into learning at HTS, our students will be properly prepared for what is ahead. And by using technology with intention, we aim to foster good habits and a balanced
approach to its use with our learners. We do this via the Innovative Learner Continuum—a document that promotes agility and adaptability in our students, knowing that the world will continue to evolve technologically.
Curiosity is the essence of human existence. ‘Who are we? Where are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?’ … I don’t know. I don’t have any answers to those questions. I don’t know what’s over there around the corner. But I want to find out. Gene Cernan
