Technology Class Website
Welcome students and parents to the new additional Technology Computer Lab at the Oak Ridge School located in room number 428. The lab has 27 Windows 10 desktop computers and a Chromebook Cart for student use.
Classes are 40 minutes long and meet once a week. The focus is to prepare students for 21st Century skills of collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking and problem solving to both help achieve their academic goals and to prepare for their futures.
We will be learning to type, use Google Apps for Education, learn about Digital Citizenship, Internet Research skills, introduce program coding, drawing tools, video creation, animations, online presentation programs and many other digital tools along with supporting classroom curriculum in literacy and math. In Grade 6, students will learn about Engineering and the Design Process through Green Architecture. They will study architectural basics of measuring, floor plans, building and architectural sustainability.
I would encourage your family to sign up for a free account on Common Sense Media at https://www.commonsensemedia.org/.This website provides invaluable resources to help you support and guide your child through their “digital native” world.
