"Positives of Gaming: Technology Makes Learning Fun"
Our Kids Magazine
July 2009
Technology Curriculum Director, Alan Gielen, is quoted extensively in this informative article written by Bonny Osterhage. Here's an excerpt:
"My main objective is to teach the kids that the computer is a tool rather than a toy." Gielen begins by teaching the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students basic skills such as how to move the mouse and maneuver the objects on the screen. He adds keyboarding in kindergarten and, as the students progress, so do the skill sets he teaches. "Starting them this way acclimates them to basic tech literacy. It is teaching them to use a tool that will be in their lives forever," says Gielen.

Colonel W.T. Bondurant, Jr.
August 24, 1926 – June 12, 2009
 San Antonio Academy is sad to announce the passing of Colonel W.T. Bondurant, Jr., affectionately known as “Colonel B.” We will miss you deeply.
“Bondurant led San Antonio Academy, loved teaching”
Education was a high priority in the life of W.T. Bondurant, Jr. After all, his father was president of San Antonio Academy, a position Bondurant secured upon his father’s retirement. But before earning the top position at the Academy, Bondurant taught virtually every subject over a span of 20 years.
