In
the last three years École Montgomery Middle staff have committed to the use of
technology for the purpose of learning not entertainment. Gaming, listening to
music, and other forms of entertainment are to be saved for home. In the classroom and through our Digital Literacy Exploration we strive to teach students the skills necessary to use and interact with technology capably and responsibly. Children are interacting in a digital world where very few adults are present. A lack of digital skills can have a serious impact on a child's current or future opportunities. We have a professional responsibility to develop citizens who can collaborate, create, problem solve, analyze, and investigate in both digital and analog worlds.
