In an increasingly digital and technical world, it is common for students to know more about technology than we do! My students have so enjoyed a computer programming study we did where we used scratch Jr. to learn how to give commands that a computer can follow. They looked forward to the end of each day when Science came and they could create their own video game using what they had learned through discovery. It is important that we teach our students digital citizenship from an early age and provide them with the tools they need to use technology as a tool for learning and social change. Students will use these iPads in many areas of our curriculum, from using mind-mapping apps to organize notes they take in reading and observations they make in science, to using math and reading apps to practice important fundamental skills, to documenting their work in the design process and sharing their voice and their creations with families and community members.
