KINDERGARTEN
Kindergarten Digital Technology focuses on building basic computer confidence, coordination, and responsible technology habits. Students are introduced to computers through playful and interactive activities that help them learn how to use a mouse, identify computer parts, turn a computer on and off, and develop early keyboard and typing skills. They also learn essential technology vocabulary and begin understanding digital citizenship, including online kindness, media balance, privacy, safety, and responsible device use. These foundational skills prepare students for more advanced digital tools and technology-based learning in the succeeding grade levels.
