“We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist . . . using technologies that haven’t been invented . . . in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.”
-Fisch and McLeod
Technology isn't actually a subject in our day. Instead, it's used as a tool to help us better learn all of the other subjects. It will not replace hands-on engaging learning. Besides learning to log on and how to keyboard, the chromebooks will be used off and on throughout all of our other subjects. We will collaborate with each other on projects, research, write, record ourselves reading, play games to practice the skills we're learning, take virtual field trips around the world, and much much more.
