Given the importance of technology and digital literacy, it has come to our attention that our students need to be educated and well-aware of the effect technology has upon their education. Simply put, Digital Literacy is the ability to Learn, Locate and Understand information from Digital Devices. Students need to demonstrate their ability to successfully understand and use technology to achieve an end-goal. Furthermore, students need to know how to use technology properly.
In this age, being well versed in Digital is an extremely valuable and progressive tool that can promote more engaging and interactive experiences that not only leads to greater productivity, but more importantly, greater knowledge of how things work and why they work in the manner in which they do.
The K-2 students have started the process of building up digital literacy since the beginning of this term by enrolling in the Brainzy Math and Reading Programs. Your child can now access his/her personal account at home and engage in building up Reading and Math skills during his/her spare time. There are two ways to access Brainzy Games:
Method #1
- Open your Internet browser on your computer or tablet and go to http://www.education.com/games/play/?code
- Type in our Classroom Access Code: RUL8FW
- Choose your child’s personal account and start playing.
- The K-2 students are currently working on Kindergarten First Grade Level Reading and Math Brainzy Games.
Method #2
- Download the Education.com Kids Chrome App from the Chrome Web Store.
- Type in our Classroom Access Code: RUL8FW
I would like to emphasize that these games are not homework and I do not require them to be completed. However, I would like your child to take advantage of this opportunity. Your child’s account will be available for free access until the end of August 2017. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me via this blog or my work email: [email protected] |
