Technology Training
& Resources

Equipping students and educators with cutting-edge technology skills and digital literacy for the 21st century classroom - building the competencies students need to thrive in a digital world.

Technology Training

What Is AAIC's Technology Training Program?

Digital literacy is no longer optional. Students who lack technology skills and digital competencies enter high school and the workforce at a significant disadvantage. For many students in nonpublic and faith-based schools, access to quality technology education has historically been limited.

AAIC's Technology Training and Resources program provides structured, age-appropriate technology education that builds practical digital skills, computational thinking, and responsible technology use - integrated with academic content so that technology becomes a tool for learning, not just a subject.

We also support educators with training on educational technology tools, platforms, and digital instructional strategies - ensuring technology is used effectively to enhance student learning.
