An Anthropolgical View of ERHS's Technology Culture

Eagle River High School opened in 2005. As the smallest. “large Anchorage high school” we enjoy a variety of new digital technology items and a highly trained small (but busy) technology staff. There are three computer labs for career technology classes and class checkout, as well as several teacher “checkoutable” items including a laptop cart.

Most students at ERHS have access to digital tools such as computers, internet, laptops, or cell phones. A powerpoint or smartboard is not very exciting to these students, it’s just a way of life in school.

ERHS gains most of its policies and competencies from the ASD, including internet use guidelines and training sessions. Given the availability of technology and resources at ERHS, I’m excited to expand my knowledge of the subject and build upon my students effective use of technology.
