Proverbs 3:5-6 ~ Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Welcome to the Technology Website for 5th to 8th graders!

We live in a world today that is technology driven and this generation of young children has been born into an age of ever-changing media. Everyone has some level of computer skills today and it is my job to keep all my students as current as possible in this fast-changing environment.

At the beginning of the year there will be time dedicated to the importance of Online Safety and Cyberbullying. While the internet is fast paced, fun and exciting it must also be monitored and supervised for these young students, and they must learn some of the real dangers that exist when “logging on” to websites. It is critical that they understand safety and privacy when computing on the Internet.

Through the year the students will go from learning basic computer skills to acquiring 21st century knowledge. We will work on the most basic skills such as proper keyboarding techniques to the more advanced skills such as programming. I enjoy creating engaging, instructional activities in line with curriculum content standards. My goal is to teach my students skills that are current, fun, and challenging.

The students will learn a variety of technology skills which are project based throughout the year. While the curriculum is based around Google Education programs, I will collaborate with the core subject teachers. The use of the Google Education programs combined with the resources of the internet will help keep the curriculum fresh and fun which is essential in keeping our students motivated and excited to learn.

Please revisit this site as it will be updated often with important reminders, links to educational websites, instructional videos, and serve as a great forum for all to enjoy the students’ awesome work!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting new school year!
