About the
Classroom
- In grades K to 3, students will continue to
reinforce computer skills from the previous year. Students
will illustrate stories using digital tools and media-rich
resources. Utilizing the Type to Learn 3 program, keyboarding
begins with correct posture and technique as well as hands –
on practice with other word processing applications.
- In grades 4 to 6, students will also continue
to build on their
computer skills. Students will utilize an application to
create
charts. A database will be created to organize a collection
of items.
In calling upon Mr. Robertson’s photography background,
students will
create a video documenting school, community, or local events.
- The above learning activities only describe a
small portion of what
will be happening in the computer lab this year. As a best
practice,
content from the classroom will also be integrated into the computer
curriculum as much as possible.
