The focus of the technology program is to prepare students for the future of technology, including preparing them for jobs that aren’t even created yet. We have been following a technology continuum, which can be seen here
https://goo.gl/cDi2Yc, with our classes in order to meet these goals as well as the Common Core State Standards. Students have been exposed to both iPads and Chromebooks throughout the year and have worked on typing, coding, word processing, math, English, science, and many other things.
Some of the programs, websites, and apps that we have been using are listed below:
- Wonder Workshop Dash and Dot
- Mini Drones from Parrot
- ABCYA
- Kahoot
- Google Apps for Education
- Google Classroom
- Code.org
- Scratch
