YIS IT Department

The Yokohama International School IT Department

Mission

We lead, but not follow, always rethinking the education technology paradigm with a single question: is it easier, faster or better?


Vision

Teachers will change educational practice within the classroom and technology will enhance it. In five years teachers and students will all have their own global collaborative learning spaces. Learners will be self directed & independent. Teachers will perform editorial roles, guiding students in classroom activities. Students will take ownership in their learning by helping fellow classmates and teachers reinforce technological skills. On the operational side the school will be less dependent on paper, services and resources will be web accessible. Repetitive processes will be automated and communication tools will be centralized and streamlined.
