Technology in grade 3 is integrated into the classroom experience, so that both the IT Facilitator and the regular classroom teacher will be present during activities involving technology and there is no time limit on the learning experience. There is also a 3rd grade IT art class where students use a variety of tools to express themselves on the computer through art.

Examples of past projects:
 * Students created Acrostic and Shape poems using Microsoft Publisher.
 * Students used Google Maps to mark important places in their lives. These were shown to the whole class using Google Earth.
 * Students took Google Earth tours that simulated travel around the world for a variety of personal and cultural reasons.

Upcoming projects: Students will use the[| Savings Quest game] to explore how life choices affect how much money is used and can be saved.
