Technology Focuses for EAG and HHS
Office 365
All students in grades 3-12 have Office 365 accounts. This year we will focus on getting the students logged into these accounts and familiar with using all of the tools that are available. If you are interested in how you can use these tools with your students please visit my website and book a time for me to work with you.
These tools include: OneDrive, Word, PowerPoint, Excel Online, Sway, OneNote, Delve, and Email.
Digital Citizenship
With increased technology usage comes great responsibility. Teachers need to model good digital citizenship with their students while integrating technology in their classroom. We will focus on the 9 P's of digital citizenship through lessons directly and indirectly throughout the year.
Technology in the Hands of Students
Students learn by doing. Simply watching a video on the projector or seeing a teacher use the technology is not the most effective technology integration. While it is great, we need to focus on getting the students to use the technology we have to solve problems. Teachers can engage their students in their content with the integration of a variety of technology tools. Use technology to motivate, engage, and create.
