My Students

Our students love to come to computer lab. Whether they are learning to type, write a story, practicing math facts or doing research, they are always excited to get started and especially love trying out a new technical skill.

Our computer lab is a special place where our students come to learn the technical skills that they need in a digital world.

It is also a place for them to innovate, problem-solve and express themselves creatively.

My hope, with your help, is to provide access to different types of technology that students can experiment with and discover things about themselves and their own talents for problem-solving and creating.

My Project

The WeDo wireless robotics lego kits inspire students to create robotic models using the associative software or tablet app to learn about science concepts

Life science, physical science, earth, space and engineering sciences are all explored with curated projects for innovating, creating and reflecting on their learning.

Students would share the kits and work in groups to build the chosen project. The app guides them through building the challenge, documenting their process through scientific data gathering and recording their thoughts and robotic animations with an embedded video module. The software then allows them to share their observations and their constructed models with other students.
