Technology Program Highlights
From kindergarten through fifth grade, our students enjoy learning about computers with age appropriate learning programs that are offered in each grade level. Some programs we use include learning how to  type with Keyboarding Without Tears, and how to code with engaging coding programs. In our computer curriculum we begin with a foundation of knowledge with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel and move into Google applications, such as Docs, Slides, and Sheets, and Classroom. Computer activity classes including Video Game Design, Keyboarding/Typing, and Coding are available to middle school students, providing advanced computer skills. We have an extensive curriculum in the computer lab from K-5 that provides fun and exciting ways to use technology across all subjects and interests. We are fortunate to have many types of technology at St. George, from Smart boards in each classroom, to desktops in the computer lab, and Chromebooks and iPads for individual use within the classrooms. While we integrate technology daily in each of the classrooms through STEAM, our computer classes are able to take a more in depth look into each of these programs, preparing a foundation for our students for middle school, high school, and beyond.
