Lake Braddock Secondary School will continue to integrate its new classroom technology into instruction this year. The technology was added during the school’s massive renovation, which the school is celebration the completion of, Tuesday, Sept. 18. Each classroom has ceiling-mounted digital light processing projectors, flex cams that enable teachers to illustrate resources and wireless technology that transforms an ordinary whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard, said Vicki Emery, a school spokesperson, via e-mail to the Connection. The school will updates its overall goals for the year, throughout the year. Emery said the school’s goals will mirror the countywide goals that focus on academic achievement, essential life skills and responsibility to the community.
