TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
All students in grades K-3 participate in weekly technology education sessions. During these classes students will learn beginning terminology, keyboarding skills and use word processing programs. Older students may also begin learning about database, spreadsheet and presentation programs, ethical internet use and internet safety. Students may also visit web-sites relevant to themes being studied by the class, and/or work on publishing student written material. The goal of technology is for students to gain an understanding that technology tools are available to assist in deepening their knowledge of core concepts and to explore new topics rather than just a tool that exists as a separate entity.
