Technology
In the broadest sense, technology is any object, system or process that has been designed or modified to be useful to some person or group of people.
During the 2015-2016 school year, at my request, we are trying something new. Each marking period I will teach each grade either STEM or computers. Not both. This means I will have two class periods a week to teach one topic. The following marking period I will teach the other topic. This will continue throughout the year so each grade will have two marking periods of STEM and two marking periods of computers. Last year I had one period of STEM and one period of computers per week for each grade for the whole year. I thought it was tough on the students to try to remember from class to class what they had done a week earlier. Hopefully, with this new schedule, having two class periods of the same subject each week will be more meaningful for the students.
