How can understanding technology make me a better student?

Helping your child answer this question is why we are here. Our goal is to have your child become a better learner. Technology is a tool, just as a pencil, paper, and textbooks are. We teach your child how to use this tool to improve their learning experience, to become a better student.

Our curriculum is driven by the Massachusetts State Frameworks. In other words, there are certain standards that the state sets in the area of technology literacy.

For the K-4 grade level the technology standards are broken down into three strands:

• Ethics and Safety
• Research, Problem Solving, and Communication
• Use of Computers and Applications

Each of these strands is further broken down into topics and grade levels. For example: The strand, Use of Computers and Applications, has four topics in second grade:

• Basic Operations
• Database and Spreadsheet
• Internet and Multimedia
• Word Processing and Desktop Publishing
