Technology + Collaboration = Progress
We're in the heart of Silicon Valley where technology spurs creativity and innovation. With a tech background, a 1:1 set of ChromeBooks, and kids who thrive on social media every day, you will see why technology is a critical part of the daily learning experience in Room 8 @ El Toro. Students are inspired, motivated, and curious to explore new things. Each student will use email in the classroom, and will showcase a lot of digital thinking, including team collaborative GoogleSlide projects. GoogleDocs will be the basis of weekly writing, spelling, and many other assignments. During this Distance Learning, students will be on technology frequently Remind them about best practices and monitor their usage.
As part of being a good digital citizen, it is critical for parents to monitor student Internet usage. For reference, I will randomly check their email to ensure safe usage, and I hope you will as well. Email passwords will be sent home at the beginning of the year so you can also monitor.
