Meet Our New Technology Specialist
Hello, and welcome to the Computer Lab! My name is Carolyn Fox, and I am honored to be the Technology Teacher for Goodman. I received my Bachelor of Science from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. This will be my 5th year teaching at Goodman and I am excited to start this new journey in the computer lab! Outside of school, I enjoy traveling and spending time with family.
All Kindergarten through 6th-grade students will visit the computer lab once every six days for 45 minutes of Technology class. Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students will learn basic computer and keyboarding skills, tying in with their grade-level curriculum. Third through sixth-grade students will learn keyboarding skills, digital citizenship, and basic coding skills! Students will also learn how to use Office 365 to format documents in Microsoft Word, create PowerPoints, and use Excel for producing graphs and displaying information.
