Northpoint Technology News

Very soon we will have a new technology program at Northpoint.  Northpoint will be a pilot site for Unit 5 that will focus on getting more technology in the hands of students.  Each grade level will now have a full cart of one of three technologies.  The K, 1 and 2 students will have a cart of Droid Asus EEE tablets( these are not yet in).  3rd grade students will have Asus EEE netbooks( just arrived this week).  Our 4th and 5th grade students will have a cart of laptops per commons area( all ready here).  We plan to review and try out curriculum alternatives that are web based and aligned with the common core standards.  This will be at least a year long pilot and we hope students will be excited about the possibilities they provide. Future blogs will contain some enews as it relates to this sort of techology in classrooms.
