Each year at Green Woods we are fortunate enough to mold and shape our curriculum so that we address and evaluate current events, monitor and mull over changes to the world around us, and explore and embrace new trends in technology. This year will be no different!
For the 2011-12 school year, lower school students will be exposed to basic skills in a variety of programs, so they establish confidence in their use of technology. Our software focuses include many online programs as well as activities that tie into classroom learning as much as possible. Students will see the many uses of digital cameras, audio and visual devices, and other technology tools as devices which help us to grasp the world around us and express our understanding.
Our middle school students have strong technology skills, so we strive to challenge them with longer projects. The middle school team creates these projects with the goal of pushing students to analyze and explore the curriculum with the technology. More often, students come to the lab as part of a long term, integrated project involving social studies, science and language arts, and work with a team of their peers. With the ever changing face of technology in our society, the programs we use are constantly changing, and we focus on teaching explorative skills that help students find ways to answer their own questions.
