Technology (Preschool–4)
The aim of Lower School technology instruction is simple: to teach students the mechanics of using a variety of technology devices as effective tools to enhance their learning. The Lower School Technology Instructor collaborates with teachers to support and enhance what students are learning across the curriculum. PreK and Kindergarteners apply the programs and skills they learn to complete meaningful tasks and assignments. First-graders learn proper keyboarding techniques that promote both speed and accuracy. Second and third graders become increasingly proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint and other productivity software. Fourth-graders share a pool of Netbooks and design web pages using HTML code and Scratch programming to encourage logical thinking while promoting creativity and computation skills. A highlight of our program occurs several mornings a week, when the Fourth Grade produces the Sanford Lower School News. Broadcasted in each LS classroom, students take turns operating cameras, sound equipment and more, as they integrate and apply what they’ve learned in a meaningful way.
