MCSC Technology

Technology is the future, no matter what profession you’re in. Our Technology Department works hard to ensure that all of our computers and network systems are up and running for instruction on a daily basis. We maintain firewalls to keep the Internet on our campuses safe for our students, and we help bring the most up-to-date resources to each of our classrooms.

We are a 1:1 school corporation and partner with Apple products. Our teachers do an outstanding job in integrating this technology into the classroom by using learning apps such as Readings Eggs, IXL, Edmentum and iReady as well as Google Classroom, just to name a few. Our goal is to give 21st Century skills to all of our students to set them up for success technologically.

We’ve included some helpful information for our staff and students so you can always be on the cutting edge of technological resources. If you have technology-related questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our technology coordinators by phone or email. We are happy to assist you.

iPad Information, Tips, Tricks, and More!

Every student at Mississinewa Community Schools, Kindergarten through Twelfth grades, receives an 10th Generation iPad to enhance their opportunity for achievement and to build personal responsibility for understanding current technological tools and environments. Parents and guardians should be actively involved in understanding the tools that we have given their students access. This section is a great resource to help build that parent-student relationship in this particular technology-enhanced environment.
