Grade5_2008

Technology in grade 5 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.

Examples of past projects:
 * Students created a simulation of an environment before and after it was affected by humans.
 * Students explored a simulation of early civilizations to understand the challenges and the development faced by early man.
 * As part of their Exhibition unit, students used a variety of media to share their message with the world (examples: a blog detailing pros and cons of animal rights and a website created using Google Sites that shares alternative energy sources, along with a podcast and original music composition)

Upcoming project:
 * Students will use a Jeopardy-style PowerPoint template to share their knowledge of the Human Body unit
