Computer Education

At the elementary school level, students receive computer education primarily through receiving instruction in Integrated 21st-Century (i21) Interactive Classrooms. The i21 classroom is an engaging and personalized learning environment designed to optimize teaching and learning through the interconnected use of mobile computing as well as audio, visual, and formative assessment technologies across the curriculum. In addition, standards-based software may be used to assist students in attaining academic skills. Coupled with these digital tools is a comprehensive professional development and support plan designed to support achievement for all students.

At the secondary school level, mobile computing, technology tools, on-line resources, and content-specific software are utilized to assist students in becoming technologically literate as well as meeting academic standards.

Courses that focus on computers themselves—their hardware, software, tools, and their uses—are now part of the Career Technical Education department, and their descriptions are found in that section.
