Course Overview

This year-long course will focus on multiple 21st century skills in productivity, and computer science. Emphasis will be placed on collaboration and teamwork, creativity and imagination, critical thinking and problem solving. Students will learn about file management, keyboarding and productivity using G-Suite & MS Office Suite. They will also learn about internet search techniques, technology related vocabulary, and digital etiquette. Students will receive an introduction to coding and STEM through online computer science resources, and produce a portfolio via a student created website.

This course is required for all 6th grade students

Google Drive and Classroom

Students log in to Google using your Guajome e-mail and password

We use Google Drive to save all documents so they are available for students to access from any web enabled device.

I use Google Classroom to communicate with students, and it requires a code to join the class.
