Grade One Technolgy
Integration of Technology into the Grade One Curriculum
21st Century Learning
Your child is a 21st Century learner and technology is embedded into his/her everyday life. It is imperative that the school teach the students a variety of Web 2.o tools, apps and websites to use to help prepare them for their future. In Grade one we build on what has been taught in Kindergarten and move from using technology as a way to remember information or practice skills to a way of demonstrating knowledge and thinking. Some of the tools below are incorporated into the program to practice skills and others tools are taught specifically to your child so he/she can apply knowledge and thinking in a different way.
TumbleBooks
