The computer lab is used for teaching students in grades K-5 technology skills and is part of the expressive arts schedule each week. These skills are used to enhance the Common Core State Standards curriculum used in the classroom and are age and grade appropriate. A Computer Skills Growth Chart is used as a guide for integrating technology into my instruction and as a means of assessing student growth for technology competencies. I use the Common Core State Standards as a vehicle to support technology integration across all curriculum areas. Through the use of a variety of programs and lesson plans students learn technology skills while creating many projects throughout the school year.  These skills are reinforced each year and built upon to have continued growth through their years at Marshall.
