  CONNECTED CLASSROOM
  POWERED BY GOOGLE©  |  Training Presentation
  Connected Classroom is an exciting initiative that brings technology to the forefront of the student learning experience and gives all our students the tools to take a more active role in their learning.  At the heart of Connected Classroom is the Google suite of products and a Chromebook. Students and parents must read the Connected Classroom Handbook and Acceptable Use Policy. If students have a problem or question about their Chromebook, they can visit the Help Desk in the Library from 7:30 - 3:30 on school days or email support@netdemics.com.

  
  DIGITAL DRIVER'S LICENSE
  DDL Website
  
  Courtesy the University of Kentucky: The idea of being a good digital citizen becomes more important as schools use various technology as a part of the learning process. Where does this get taught? Who teaches it? How do we keep track of all of this? How do we know what areas need addressing and/or follow up? The DDL project allows learners (whether they be students or teachers) to get exposure to concepts through cases and learn to become responsible digital citizens. Learners can take the practice and evaluative exercises to both facilitate and certify their knowledge.

• Course Levels

  Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School is committed to the highest academic standards of excellence. The academic program is designed to enhance the knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for students to become life-long learners and contributing members of society. At CJ, each student is encouraged to continually strive for academic excellence at a level commensurate with his or her ability. Respecting the individual needs of each student, CJ offers courses at various academic levels.
  
  

  Students are placed in courses based on standardized test scores, teacher recommendations, and past performance. It is possible for students to be enrolled in courses at different levels. For example, a student may have demonstrated superior abilities in English and be enrolled in an honors English course while at the same time be enrolled in a college preparatory math course.
