Technology experiences in the elementary school are designed to help children learn and achieve the educational goals of the total elementary school program. These experiences orient students to technology, develop psychomotor skills and provide the basis for informed attitudes about technology’s influence on society. Technology-based activities, integrated into the curriculum, motivate students and reinforce learning while students gain a technological awareness. The focus of using technology in education at the elementary level is to develop a technological awareness and to reinforce learning.
The elementary school child with technology experiences will:
• explore how people create, use and control technology
• apply knowledge in mathematics, language arts, social studies, science, health and the arts in solving problems associated with technology
• use tools and materials to explore personal interests with technology
• exhibit self-confidence through the use of technology
