Technology Education at San Antonito Elementary

San Antonito's Philosophy of Technology Education

The use of technology is very important to our society. All students are provided equitable opportunities to use technology as one of many tools in their learning process. It is our belief that students learn best when they are engaged in meaningful activities where they are able to work with others in order to construct a product that shows their knowledge. Technology is always used with class supervision by adults and clear learning objectives.

Technology Curriculum

Teachers develop lessons that integrate technology with the theme or learning concepts they are studying. All classes K-5th work one day in the lab for 45 minutes on curriculum activities. First thru fifth graders also have a 30 minute block of time to learn keyboarding skills. Our technology curriculum is guided by serveral of the following sources:

• New Mexico Technology Standards (integrated within subject areas)
• Albuquerque Public Schools Core Curriculum (available at school)
• San Antonito's Technology Skills Assessment
• Acceptable Use Policy
