Welcome to a new year of innovation, creativity, and exploration in the Technology classroom at NAAQC!

This school year, our Technology class will serve as a dynamic launchpad for enhancing academic excellence across all grade levels. Through hands-on learning and real-world application, students in Grades 1–8 will engage with powerful digital tools that will sharpen their communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Our class is designed not just to teach technology, but to help students see how technology can empower their learning in every subject.

While the world of technology continues to evolve rapidly, our mission remains rooted in purpose: to prepare students to thrive in a global, ever-changing digital landscape—grounded in faith, responsibility, and integrity.

What Students Will Learn:

• Digital Literacy & Citizenship: Understanding how to use technology safely, ethically, and responsibly
  
  

• Typing & Computer Fundamentals: Building fluency in keyboarding, file management, and operating systems
  
  

• Coding & Problem Solving: Introduction to coding concepts, logic, and creative thinking
  
  

• Collaborative Projects: Working together on tech-based assignments that connect to real-world issues and community impact
  
  

• Creative Design: Exploring digital art, presentations, and media creation to express ideas in meaningful ways
  
  

• Data & Research: Learning how to find, analyze, and present information effectively using digital tools
  
  

Students will use technology to visualize complex concepts, participate in interactive simulations, explore scientific data, create digital art, and develop personal portfolios that showcase their growth and achievements.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to ensure that all students are confident, capable, and Christ-centered digital citizens, ready to participate, contribute, and flourish in a connected world. With unlimited access to people, information, and ideas, students will be empowered to lead and innovate with purpose and compassion.

Technology at NAAQC is:

• A tool to support and enhance what teachers already do in the classroom—not to replace human connection.
  
  

• A bridge to the future, preparing students to apply what they’ve learned to real-life situations.
  
  

• An opportunity to grow in knowledge and faith, using technology in ways that glorify God and uplift our communities.
  
  

Weekly Class Details:

Grades 1–8 meet once a week for Technology class. Please see the schedule page for specific class times.

In today’s digital age, our mission in the Technology classroom goes far beyond screens and software—we’re preparing students to be creative thinkers, responsible digital citizens, and global learners. Here’s what you can expect your child to experience and achieve this school year:

🌍 Bringing the World to the Classroom

Every student—regardless of background, ability, or location—deserves equal access to the tools and experiences that fuel success. Technology opens doors to diverse people, cultures, and ideas, expanding our understanding of the world and leveling the educational playing field for all.

🧠 Learning by Doing

We believe students learn best when they’re actively engaged. Hands-on projects, real-world challenges, and interactive lessons allow your child to build skills with purpose while boosting confidence and curiosity.

🏠 Strengthening the Home-School Connection

We strive to make parents true partners in their child’s education by connecting learning to the home, libraries, and community access points. Together, we can foster a stronger support system both inside and outside the classroom.

🎯 Personalized, Student-Centered Learning

No two students learn the same way or at the same pace. Through adaptive tools and flexible instruction, we provide opportunities for individual growth, helping each student thrive according to their unique learning style.

📚 Fostering Lifelong Learners

We’re preparing students not just for the next test—but for life. Your child will learn how to access, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, skills that will benefit them for years to come in school, career, and beyond.

🧭 Empowering the 21st-Century Educator

In this space, teachers become coaches, mentors, and guides—encouraging students to take ownership of their learning, ask questions, and explore solutions with confidence and integrity.

💻 Building Future-Ready Tech Skills

From basic computer care to digital design, coding, file management, and troubleshooting, students will master essential technological skills that prepare them for future academic and career success—whether in high school, college, or the workforce.

🔧 What Your Child Will Be Doing

Throughout the year, your child will:

• Complete hands-on assignments and projects based on their grade level

• Use various types of educational software and creative tools

• Explore both block-based and text-based coding languages

• Design and create digital graphics, presentations, and portfolios

• Learn digital integrity, online safety, and personal tech responsibility

• Practice basic computer care, troubleshooting, and file organization
  
  

Together, we will equip our students to become bold, ethical, and empowered contributors to a digital world, all while growing in knowledge, purpose, and faith.

Let’s make this a year of innovation, imagination, and inspiration!
