Students in grades kindergarten through six meet weekly for computer projects/skills. Kindergarten through second grade students are taught keyboarding skills using the Keyboarding Without Tears program. Upper level students use a basic online keyboarding program. The WCSU Digital Learning Plan 2016-2019 is our latest tech document. The Grade Expectations for Vermont’s Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities for Information Technology (see below) are also used as a guide for our curriculum. The WCSU Scope and Sequence checklist (see below) helps to guide us as well. The K-6 grade curriculum can easily integrate computer skills into daily lessons. Our Mac mobile lab stays busy every day. Fifth and sixth graders have 1:1 computing with chromebooks. We also have iPads to share for all levels.
All WCSU students will need to sign an AUP.
Here are examples of student created virtual holiday cards.
Below is a small animated movie created on the iPad using the app, ChatterPIX. It is a singing bee. The Honeybee is Barnard’s mascot. These 2 first graders came up with their songs “on the fly”.
