As the year progresses, students create projects in Microsoft Word, Power Point, Publisher and Excel.  They learn programming at Code.org and will also be introduced to additional coding websites, Tynker and Scratch.  Students work with partners on collaborative projects with the iPads and create iMovies and Podcasts.  They will continue to improve their search skills in Google Earth, and gain knowledge on Cyber Safety and how to be a good Digital Citizen.  Projects during the year include a calendar in the spreadsheet application, a name acrostic in Microsoft Word, a greeting card for Mother's Day, and a Tagxedo project.
