5th Grade Tech

Welcome to Grade 5 Technology.

In Grades 4 and 5, We will learn to stay safe on line, do some coding and learn how to search properly. We will use websites to help us with our classroom studies. For coding we will use sites such as mit.edu's website called scratch which is free. Code.org is also a free to site.We will also use tech tools to communicate such as word processors, slides and math apps. In school we are Windows 10 based and O-365 based. At home you may use other apps such as the Google apps. In school we are using a cloud based system which is only accessible on the school's wi-fi network after logging into the mobieus system. We will also explore other sites to enjoy things such as math in art or other subject areas related to your class studies. Lesson goals adjusted for each middle school grades.


Technology week of June 8th 2020

Dear Students,

You looked at Quantum Computers last week. This week I am going to ask you to react to (a, some) “you tube” video(s) explaining 5G technology.

There are many questions surrounding this new technology and I would like to read your reaction to the following videos. Even though I have separated the videos into grades 4 and 5, you may look at all of them and research more if you wish. After you view the video(s) of your choice please use google docs or Word to write a response and explain what you learned. Share or send to: jballard@tcabrockton.org. Have some fun and explore further if you wish. Try to avoid information provided by cell phone companies.
