Technology
At Mindful Community School, we are committed to teaching our students the skills necessary to thrive in today’s evolving digital world.
Our Technology Curriculum is designed to allow students to constantly incorporate new tools to facilitate integration with other subjects and provide opportunities to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills that may prove helpful beyond the classroom.
The Technology Curriculum has four modules: Digital Citizenship, Computer Systems and Devices, Computational Thinking, and Computing Practices and Programming. All four modules span across all grades, Kinder k-8th. Each module tackles different areas that will help produce a well-rounded digital-age graduate.
In the Computer Lab, we have designed a learning experience that allows students to work independently to help them develop self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-regulation; and collaboratively to help them develop soft skills like communication, collaboration, and social skills. Each module’s activities and projects provide students with real-world applications using the latest technology.
