Technology Planning Ideas

At Carpenter Elementary, we have devised many technology planning ideas to increase digital awareness and stakeholder engagement. These planning ideas are also pivotal for maintaining technology security and safety while students are online. These technology planning ideas include: 

• digital day - families come to see student work showcased through a technology show and tell by students
• online safety class - representatives from the Department of Juvenile Justice will conduct a parent session on keeping students safe while online
• copyright and wrongs - media services district leadership will provide a teacher workshop on how to maintain copyright laws for an online virtual world
• coding club - fifth grade students will come to school early one day a week to participate in a coding club in the technology lab
• news club - the announcements said over the intercom daily will transition to students producing a televised morning show called Cary News
• flipped staff meetings - administration will send select videos to teachers before staff meetings to watch at home so staff meetings can have more structures for rigorous discourse
