Regis Student in Technology Classes - Regis of the Sacred Heart

Technology and MakerSpace at Regis challenge and develop students' skills in critical thinking from Pre-K3 through
Eighth Grade.

Regis has invested in leveraging 21st century tools to create a dynamic and fulfilling learning experience for all students on campus. All Early Childhood, Lower School and Middle School classrooms are equipped with interactive digital boards that promote student engagement and participation.

The Technology department at Regis teaches the curriculum through the lens of the Sacred Heart Goals & Criteria, with special focus on personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom (Goal V), partnering with each family to support their unique technology needs. 

Apple Distinguished School


Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of innovation, leadership, and educational excellence. They use Apple technology to inspire creativity, collaboration and critical thinking in learning, teaching and the school environment, and have documented results of academic accomplishment. 

The selection of Regis as an Apple Distinguished School highlights our success as an innovator and a compelling learning environment that engages students, and provides tangible evidence of academic achievement.

1:1 Apple Device Program

Regis has a 1:1 Apple device program. With both the iPad and MacBook Air devices, students can develop personal responsibility skills for the care, management, and proper use of technology.

Starting in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade, each student has access to iPads to use for their daily in-class work. Starting in Fifth Grade, students receive an iPad for them to use in the classroom and at home. In Sixth through Eighth Grade, students receive an Apple MacBook Air laptop to use in the classroom and at home.

Technology that Tranforms Learning—Innovation in Action

At Regis, technology is intentionally integrated into project-based learning to enhance and complement the classroom experience, while teaching students to use digital tools responsibly and purposefully. It also provides meaningful insights into how students learn, helping educators personalize instruction and track growth over time.

Reading Fluency & Self-Reflection

Reading Fluency &
Self-Reflection

In Second Grade, Apple technology is integrated to support student reading fluency and self-reflection. Students independently log into their Seesaw accounts using individual Clever badge QR codes, and using iPads and headphones, record themselves reading a short passage and upload their audio to the Seesaw app. This process allows students to listen to their own reading, recognize areas for improvement, and build fluency, confidence, and ownership of their learning all with the help of their Apple Ipads.

Literacy Data Collection

Literacy Data Collection

Technology makes it easier to document, monitor, and share literacy growth, giving teachers and families an ongoing view of student progress.

Running Records & Observations: Teachers photograph or video-record students reading aloud, or students record themselves reading aloud, answering comprehension questions, or engaging in various literacy tasks.
Student Work Captured: Writing samples, letter recognition, phonemic awareness activities.
Timestamps & Notes: Entries are automatically date-stamped to allow for the tracking of growth over time.
Parent Visibility on Seesaw: Families see literacy progress in real-time, creating a shared data record. 

Main data points collected include:

  • Guided Reading Levels
  • Sight word mastery 
  • Phonemic awareness scores
  • Writing samples (developmental stages)
  • Fluency rates 
  • Comprehension assessment scores

Student Design:
Funko Pop Figures

Student Design:
Funko Pop Figures

In this imaginative, process-driven project, fifth grade students stepped into the role of professional toy designers, using creativity, research, and artistic decision-making to bring custom Funko Pop figures to life. Working with blank 3D-printed figures from the technology lab, students studied the career and design process of former Hasbro product designer Khipra Nichols before developing their own concepts. They brainstormed characters, created sketches and color plans, and researched official reference images from sources such as NBA, MLB, FIFA, and Marvel to inform their designs.

Students then transformed their plans into three-dimensional works of art using Model Magic, paint pens, acrylic paint, and a variety of materials to create custom environments for their figures. Alongside the artwork, each student wrote a narrative or biography for their character and reflected on their creative process, challenges, discoveries, and accomplishments. The result was more than a finished figure—it was an authentic design experience that connected research, planning, making, writing, and reflection.

Exploring Hydroponics & Aeroponics

Exploring Hydroponics & Aeroponics

In seventh grade Biology, students expand their understanding of plant growth beyond traditional soil-based environments by exploring hydroponics and aeroponics. After studying how aeroponic systems work, students collaborated to design and build their own growing towers, using Tinkercad to create a 3D model and visualize the components before construction. Working hands-on with PVC piping and tools, students measured, cut, shaped, and assembled the tower, applying scientific concepts alongside design and engineering skills.

Once completed, each tower will support the growth of 10 small-rooted plants, with a submersible pump circulating water and nutrients from a reservoir at the base to nourish the plants. Designed for long-term use, the towers will provide opportunities for students to observe plant growth and roots while producing leafy greens and herbs for the school community. Students also extend their exploration through 3D printing, designing self-watering pots that use capillary action to automatically deliver water to plants as the soil dries.

Music, Research, & Digital Literacy

Music, Research, &
Digital Literacy

During Women’s History Month, fifth grade students explored the contributions of female composers and artists through an interdisciplinary project combining music, research, creativity, and technology. Students selected a female composer, researched her musical style and influences, and analyzed elements such as tempo, instrumentation, layering, and emotional tone. Using GarageBand, they translated their research into original compositions inspired by their chosen composer, experimenting with loops, layering, dynamics, and other digital tools to develop their own creative voice.

Students then curated their compositions into digital albums using Apple Music, thoughtfully selecting titles and organizing their work for an audience. Through class presentations, they explained how their compositions reflected the stylistic elements of their chosen composer and articulated their creative decisions. The project positioned technology as a tool for creation and expression, giving students meaningful opportunities to exercise agency, develop digital literacy, and connect historical research with artistic production.

Creating Stop Motion Animation

Creating Stop Motion Animation

Our fourth grade students brought history to life one frame at a time through creativity and technology.

The boys took on the Texas Revolution by recreating iconic moments from the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. From researching the battles to designing their own backdrops, every detail was student-created. 

Using toy soldiers, sound effects, and their own iPads, they brought these historic scenes into motion through stop-motion animation which they learned in MakerSpace.
