There’s no denying that we’re moving toward a technology-driven society. Knowing how to use technology — everything from digital menus to self-driving cars — prepares students for the future. Technology skills learned early can support the growth of students both in their careers and personal lives.

Students will learn a variety of software and apps through Project Based Studies. They will research topics and use docs, slides, and sheets to show what they have learned.

Did you know that computer science fosters creativity and teaches students critical thinking skills to become proactive learners? That’s why elementary school is the ideal time for students to be introduced to CS! Six different studies show: children who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, and are 17% more likely to attend college.

Children are growing up with the power of digital media and technology to explore, connect, create, and learn in new

ways. With this power, young people have great opportunities, but they also face challenges and dilemmas. Schools

are dealing with the ramifications, including issues such as online safety, cyberbullying, privacy, hate speech,

misinformation, and digital distraction. To address these issues, schools are creating a positive culture around media

and technology by incorporating digital citizenship education as part of their curricula.
