At Queen of Peace School, our goal is to ensure that our students can be successful both in and out of the classroom today and in the future. Computers are a powerful learning tool. It is important that students understand how to harness the power of technology to find answers, organize information, and collaboratively share ideas.
Students in grades Pre-K through 2 share Chromebooks and charging units provided in the classroom on Chromebook carts.
Our students in grades 3 through 8 are each assigned their own Chromebook, charging unit, and case and are responsible for transporting the device to/from school daily and to all classes.
Chromebook Applications
Chromebooks have countless classroom applications. All teachers have their own assigned Chromebooks so they too understand the technology and can bring fresh ideas on how to use them in their curriculum. While there is no limit on ideas, here are a few applications in the classroom.
Google Docs for Education
Word Processing (storytelling, writing, electronic note-taking)
Document Sharing (collaborative teamwork)
Spreadsheets (analyzing data, creating charts)
Presentations (public speaking, organizing information)
Google Forms (quizzes, surveys)
Google Maps (social studies, history)
Internet Search (how to safely seek and find information)
Videos (science experiments, cultural awareness)
