The Library and Technology (InfoTech) curriculum is based on a stepping stone model with skills being taught, reinforced, and expanded through project-based learning at each grade level.
Essential Questions:
  • How can I use library resources to find information?
  • How can I use technology tools to pursue my interests?
  • How can I use technology to enhance my pursuit of knowledge?
  • How can I use technology to communicate and share with others?
Skills and Enduring Understandings:
Students use library resources and technology tools to promote creativity, while also using a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively. Students engage in projects to increase their knowledge of literary genres, to understand the difference between fiction and nonfiction, and to effectively use library resources.
