Elementary Technology

For the third year in a row, our school district will host Technology Night. It is a night for parents, students, administrators, Board of Education members and the community to see technology in action in our schools. It will be held on Feb. 25th.  In the past, we have asked the teachers to be the presenters and highlight their use of technology in all different curriculum areas. But this year will be different. We have opened it up and asked the students to do the presenting. Teachers will serve as mentors to the students as they design and prepare their presentations. We will have presenters from grades 1-12 in the areas of math, science and technology education. We have asked students in grades 5-12 to apply to present. I am amazed at the projects that the students have submitted. We are going to see a model smart house, video game creations, a robotic scarecrow, geocaching with a handheld GPS, website creations, building designs with Sketch-up, hydro-power explorations, a hover plane concept, a rubix cube solving robot, and many more. I can’t wait to see it all!
