GLO #3 Technology Literacy

GLO #3  Technology Literacy

Students will demonstrate the appropriate use of technology tools, evaluate the quality of sources, and incorporate technology into daily work.

• Access, analyze, and evaluate information and resources
• Personalize learning
• Create and communicate
• Engage in global projects and issues
• Adapt to new technologies
• Ethical use

As a district there have been some major efforts to build these skills both with students and teachers.  Technology literacy has been embedded into professional development and leadership team meetings.  Teachers are embracing the mindset of exploring with students and using technology in purposeful ways.   The world of technology is an ever evolving world and it calls learners to accept and embrace the constant status of learner regardless of your level of expertise. Our learning is being supported also with a great repository of resources through the Hudson Elementary Schools Professional Learning Website

I have seen some meaningful use of technology throughout the building which hits at the heart of this GLO!  This 5th grade mini-inquiry asks the question: How does technology impact my learning.

HP 5th graders have been investigating how technology affects their learning by interviewing business owners, Chris Deleon from the Middle School, Mary B-E, and Heidi Hayes- Jacobs.  They have also been reading articles, watching videos, and learning how technology impacts their learning.

 

You are invited to join us on Wed. May 21 from 3:30-6 in the media center to showcase our learning.  Students will be demonstrating specific tools that show their use of technology to collaborate, create, and learn.  Treats will be provided.
