Technology

It is getting close to the end of the year.  In technology we are wrapping up any projects, spending time practicing math facts on IXL and dreaming about summer.

In coding  - we are using Tynker to learn more about coding and build an ecological food pyramid this week.  It is fun to see their ideas about life under the sea!

Student can be using IXL, Khan Academy, Prodigy and/or Tynker at home to keep up on their skills.  If you need help how to access any of these accounts please email Lisa Fox with your student name and grade and program you would like help with.

In grades Pre-K and Kindergarten we are working on signing in on our own, gaining mouse control and getting stronger in our keyboarding skills. 

In grades 1 through 3 we are working on keyboarding skills, using MS Word and navigating the internet. 

In grades 4 through 8 we are using KHAN Academy with the connection to MAP scores to improve Math skills. 

Kindergarten Through 8th Grade use IXL to support Math skills.

Grades 4-8 we are also working on PowerPoint and Tynker (coding).

 

Each year students and their guardians/parents are asked to read and sign a form titled "Acceptable Use Policy".  In it are guidelines to help us in regards to computer use at St. Pius X.

The students must have this form filled out in order to use the computers.

Please review and sign it as soon as possible.

Thank you!
