Screen Time in School
This year your child has access to a Chromebook each day to enhance his learning experience. We will use Chromebooks as a tool for learning - an interactive process. Here's a look at how we use technology:
- Compose writing and conduct research on Chromebooks
- Collaborate with classmates on various digital projects
- Engage in digital classroom discussions where everyone contributes and has a voice
- Create an e-portfolio to share classwork with you
- Differentiate instruction to allow kids to work at their pace and at the right place for her skill level
- Develop digital citizenship skills and an awareness around proper use of technology
​
Technology is a pedagogical tool used with purpose. It will not replace the importance of hands-on, collaborative activities and exploration in the classroom.
- It will not be used all the time
- It will not be used during recess
- It will not be used for playing games (not tied to educational purposes)
