Technology

Overview

Our goal at Cedar Park is to get the most up-to-date and innovative technology into the hands of our students. Our technology class offers relevant, engaging and meaningful opportunities for student learning. Students learn new ways to create, communicate, problem solve and collaborate using 21st century skills. We believe that all of our students can be effective digital learners so digital citizenship is an important emphasis at Cedar Park. In technology class all students learn what it means and feels like to be be a positive, respectful and responsible digital citizen when using networked technology at school and at home.

K-5th grade technology projects that range from multi-media creation to Google Apps production to blogging to digital design in Tinkercad to robotics and computer science/coding!

All students experience very hands-on computer science activities from unplugged activities that focus on sequential algorithm exploration without screens to block coding in the online Scratch platform to real world, professional coding of Python language.
