***Technology in our classroom, as approved by GCS Board:
Per SC Regulation 43-220, South Carolina schools districts will provide [gifted and talented] programs that reflect curricular and instructional components to include opportunities for the critical consumption, use, and creation of information using available technologies (Gifted and Talented Best Practices Guidelines: Curriculum and Instruction, p.3, component E).
In compliance with GCS Board Policy IA and Administrative Rule IA, all students in GRADES 2–5 are issued a Chromebook for the school year. Device use is limited to required assessments and district-approved instructional applications accessed through ClassLink. Schools are expected to prioritize non-technology teaching and learning experiences whenever possible. As Challenge is an accelerated learning program based upon national Gifted and Talented standards and best practices, students may additionally use their Chromebooks for research, collaboration, content creation, and other instructional activities as applicable. Challenge teachers are expected to balance technology use with direct instruction and interpersonal learning experiences.
