Academic Course in Library, Media & Technology
The media, innovation, and technology team has integrated their areas of instruction to create multi-disciplinary classes for Brookside students in grades one through five. The focus of this class is to enhance Brookside's curriculum through the use of current and evolving technology and problem-solving skills. The instruction team works closely with the classroom teachers to integrate skills with numerous aspects of grade level curriculum.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards are one of the guidelines used for curriculum planning and implementation. Computer and technology skills are needed to access, utilize, communicate and present information. Internet safety and digital citizenship are covered at each grade level. Media skills allow the student to become knowledge producers and critical information consumers. Students will also be immersed in visual literacy. As wise consumers and creators of the visual medium, they will deconstruct images and media messages and learn how to create their own.
Critical thinking and problem solving are crucial as students develop as innovators. Students will use design thinking and engineering to collaborate in developing solutions to complex problems. To discover how technology can aid in this process, students will also use Computational Thinking, an aspect of computer science that provides context to coding skills.
