  • EXPRESSIVE ARTS: TECHNOLOGY
     
    Hi! My name is Mrs. Benson, and I am very excited about the start of the 2019-2020 school year, and am looking forward to once again teaching Technology Special to our K-5 students!
     
    Our Technology Special curriculum will encompass the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) Standards, as well as CCSS (Common Core State Standards). 
        
                  The core concentration areas of the ISTE Standards include:
                        1. Empowered Learner
                        2. Digital Citizen
                        3. Knowledge Constructor
                        4. Innovative Designer
                        5. Computational Thinker
                        6. Creative Communicator
                        7. Global Collaborator
     
     
    Our Oberle students will...
    * Engage in technology lessons that will provide them with the opportunity to develop 21st century skills.
     
    * Learn computer basics, internet basics, and keyboarding.
     
    *Gain valuable knowledge about internet safety and the responsibility of Digital Citizenship. 
     
    * Be exposed to various educational software that will enable ELA/Math Skill reinforcement, as well as other applications including, but not limited to, MS Office and Digital Storytelling.
     
    At home, students can access "Mrs. Benson's Technology Education Links-Interactive Games and Resources" [listed under "Links" on the right side of this page]. My webpage contains a plethora of educational links where your child can practice and reinforce ELA and Math skills, as well as engage in the applications that we learn in class.
