3. What does my child need to bring to the club? Students may want to bring a flash drive (jump drive) to save their work. We will also encourage students to save their work to the school network server so they can access their documents and files from their classroom.
4. Does my child have to complete a project to be in the club? No, but students will be encouraged to apply the skills they learn to create or complete a project. We'll share ideas and resources for projects, competitions, and exhibitions that your child may enter. Also, we will encourage all members of the club to create a project for the technology fair (to be held next school year).
5. What do I do if my child can no longer attend? If your child is no longer able to attend the club meetings, please email Kim Creagh at creagh@fultonschools.org so that we can invite a student on the waiting list to join the club.
6. What do I do if my child has to miss a meeting? We will post the weekly activities on this webpage, so if your child is absent, please have him or her check here to see what skill they missed that week.
7. Is there a fee for the club? There is no fee to join the club. Teachers have volunteered to help with the club, and we also have several parents who have offered to get involved.
8. If I want to volunteer to help with the club, what should I do? We would love to have parents and community partners help us with the club. If you (or someone you know) could help us, please send an email to Ms. Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt@fulton.k12.ga.us
9. What will my child do/learn as a member of the club? In addition to learning how to use different Web 2.0 applications (wikis, blogs, etc...), members will also learn about Internet safety, digital citizenship, multimedia applications, project planning, and choosing the right technology for projects. Students will also learn skills related to topics of personal interest (digital photography, webpage design, robotics, etc...).
