1st Ever TechConnect Event
Technology and education go hand-in-hand in Pickerington Schools, and a special event planned for May 10 will give parents, students, and the community a chance to see first-hand how the district is creating 21st-century learning environments.
The community is invited to “TechConnect,” a first-ever event featuring students and teachers sharing how technology is being used to support learning in Pickerington Schools. The event will be 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 10, at Heritage Elementary, 100 N. East Street.
The event is for all age levels and will begin in the Heritage gymnasium with a technology playground, allowing all attendees to discover and ask questions about various technologies being used by our students and teachers. Featured booths will include how students are using drones, coding, Bloxels, Ozobots, Wevideo, virtual reality, Google Suite, Puzzlets, Digital Clue, student news crews, and more.
After the Technology Playground, guests will move to the auditorium to watch students and teachers present projects they have completed this year. Each student will use the stage to give a 5-minute presentation to present their project. Presentations will include students and teachers from all grades bands. Watch first graders using Ozobots robots, elementary students creating digital books, middle school students creating podcasts, junior high students designing digital portraits, high school students creating and annotating video, and more.
The Pickerington Police Department also will be on hand to present a session on digital safety in our community.
