In grades 2-8 we are using Tynker to learn more about coding.

In grades Pre-K and Kindergarten we work on signing in on our own, gaining mouse control and getting stronger in our keyboarding skills.  We learn how to navigate Word and type our names.  We learn more about Math with games.

In grades 1 through 3 we work on keyboarding skills, using MS Word and navigating the internet. We also use a few programs to enhance our learning - IXL, Prodigy and Tynker.

In grades 4 through 8 we use KHAN Academy with the connection to MAP scores to improve Math skills. We also use IXL, Prodigy and Tynker to support Math skills.

In most grades we use the internet to do research and enhance other subject area learning.

In Grade 7 we are working on making a crossword puzzle with technology terms as the answers to clues.
