Media, Library, & Technology

St. Joseph's School for the Deaf incorporates media and technological services into every aspect of the learning process for our students. Within the school, each classroom utilizes a multimedia computer which has web access. Our school houses a computer classroom for conventional instruction and a lab for independent work or group projects. Technology is introduced to our students at every age level; these skills further progress as the students advance through the upper grades. Technology is also integrated into the curriculum to foster the teaching/learning process which makes the incorporation effective and enjoyable.

Our Technology program enhances communications with the use of e-mail while our visual messageboard system sends LCD messages to each classroom and select areas within the school.

Additionally, our visual technology includes a fully functional television studio with digital editing and live production capabilities. We have a three channel broadcast system which transmits to each classroom and the students are able to "perform" in skits that they create with teachers. This medium fosters creativity and boosts self-esteem while teaching valuable basic production skills in the process.
