The Grade 2 program focuses on helping students become more independent, confident, and capable technology users. Students strengthen their typing and keyboarding skills, explore coding as a tool for creativity and problem-solving, and learn practical troubleshooting skills such as checking connections, restarting a program or device, identifying simple errors, and seeking appropriate assistance. By the end of the year, students should be able to use technology more independently, understand how digital skills support learning, and approach basic technology problems with patience, logic, and confidence.
Digital Technology builds students’ independence and confidence in using computers. Students learn how to log in and log out properly, understand why strong typing skills are important, and develop keyboarding accuracy and fluency through Typing.com. They are introduced to the importance of coding and computational thinking through Code.org, where they practice sequencing, problem-solving, patterns, and logical thinking. Students also learn Troubleshooting 101, developing simple strategies for identifying and solving common technology problems and knowing when to ask for help.
