Classroom Technology Resources

The world as we know it is changing.  Our children need to be prepared with 21st Century skills to prepare them for the future.  Our classroom is full of technological resources that we will be utilizing on a daily basis in order to facilitate their learning. Why Use Technology in the Classroom

We are very fortunate in our classroom to have access to a variety of technology resources. Our classroom is equipped with the following resources, which will be utilized in our daily lesson planning in order to facilitate your child's learning:

•  Classroom computer lab: equipped with 4 computers and a printer
• Laptops (6)
• Document Cameras (2)
• Projectors (2)
• Calculators (class set)
• Smartboards (2)
• iPads (6)  

Using iPads in the Classroom

We will be using technology on a daily basis in our classroom in order to communicate both academic and behavioral progress.  

We will be utilizing Edmodo this school year for academic communication.  Edmodo is an online system that provides a way for our class to connect, share, access homework, grades, and assignments.   Each day, we will post the days learning objectives in each subject area and the homework for the day.  Students will also be required to complete and submit homework through this system.  A complete overview of Edmodo and how to use it will be given at our open house in the fall.

In order to monitor classroom behavior we will be using Class Dojo.  Class Dojo is an online system that allows us to track your child's classroom behavior.  This system creates behavior progress reports that we will be sending home weekly via email.  A complete overview of Class Dojo will be given at our open house as well.

We are very excited for your children to learn new information this school year as well as access the variety of technological resources that we have available to help facilitate their educational experience.  We are available to assist you with learning how to use the technology that your child will be exposed to.  Technology is fun and a wonderful tool to assist in the learning process!  We look forward to working with you this school year.
