Elementary School Technology

Daily classroom learning is enhanced with interactive lessons on SmartBoards. Each elementary classroom has iPads or Chromebooks to match students, one-to-one. Students in grades K - 2 benefit from iPads, while students in grades 3 – 5 transition to Chromebooks for personal technology utilization. Students may not take home these devices.
Students reinforce learned academic skills through fun, interactive activities on online learning sites such as IXL and Spelling City. Older elementary students use Google Doc features to create text documents, slide presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, and surveys.
During Technology class, elementary students work on keyboarding skills and explore computer programming through interactive Code.org and Scratch activities. Importantly, the responsibilities and challenges of digital citizenship including online safety, privacy, and data sharing are also discussed.Additional technology resources are available to students as needed.
