Technology

Scholantis

Since Miller Comprehensive High School is part of the Regina Catholic School Division (RCSD), it uses software from Scholantis. Office 365 is provided to all students in the school, with a @rcsd.ca Email address. Many teachers allow their students to submit work by having the student share it to them on SharePoint. In addition, a Scholantis-based website, hosted at portal.rcsd.ca is available for teachers to post notes, assignments, etc for students.

Wikispaces

Various staff members of Miller Comprehensive High School have set up websites, hosted by Wikispaces, in order to distribute content to students. This content typically consists of copies of assignments or notes taken in class.

iPads

Miller has been working since the summer of 2011 to integrate iPads into classrooms. iPad 2s were bought by the school for use by the students. While the iPads are still in use today, they are mostly used for research purposes as there aren't keyboards available to use. However, since they are iPad 2s, they are largely considered out-of-date by most teachers and students.

Sound-stage

Miller students have access to a professional grade sound-stage for video recordings, this room is utilised by Miller's Communication Media and Photography students on a regular basis.
