Professional Development
Intermediate technology class: Discover technology in a casual setting and work on creating newsletters, lesson plans, materials, presentations, record keeping, and communiques using technology of today. The class is designed to assist teachers/staff with how to use word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, and email software to increase classroom/school communications and organization.
Advanced technology class: Broaden your understanding of office software and website design so you can increase classroom/school productivity and efficiency. Parents/Guardians and students of the 21st century use electronic tools and applications to communicate and obtain information. In class we will explore these tools to improve delivery of information to your school community, develop lesson plans and design documents. Teachers/staff will have a chance to work with organizational and Montessori applications and to explore technologies such as computer tablets.
Technology teacher class: This class is designed for teachers who teach elementary (K-6) computer classes. The objective of the class is to present and demonstrate how to teach a computer class in a casual non-lab environment so students can learn how to use technology as an educational tool. An educational tool with applications that enhance their creativity and exploration. Teachers/staff will have a chance to work with organizational and Montessori applications, and have a chance to explore technologies such as computer tablets.
Participants in all three professional development classes will be invited to a discussion on how schools can raise funds for technology.
Student classes
Technology student classes: We offer a weekly technology course for elementary students (K-6). The class is designed to teach students how to use technology as an educational tool through lessons that enhance daily classroom work. We do this by working closely with classroom teachers and teaching applications (writing, drawing, math, language arts, presentations, data collection, reasearch, studying and programming) that promote creativity and exploration. We can provide computer and tablet hardward and software for small groups of students, or work with your school to use existing or new technologies.
Our goal is to teach students how to use technology in a way that augments their educational experience.
