Introduction

TechApps, a required course for 6th graders, covers many facets of technology, primarily emphasizing digital citizenship, productivity and research tools, beginning programming, and basic web design.

We combine learning productivity tools with analyzing digital ethics and citizenship. Some of the topics we investigate include safety, security, privacy, our inter-connected social culture, respecting the creative work of others, and building a positive online identity.

We also collaborate with Community Service to begin building an understanding of what communities we may belong to and how we can help provide them with the support they may need.
