Technology

Incorporating new technologies into the learning environment is a continuing priority at Elmwood Franklin. The integrated use of instructional technology has been shown to improve student achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics; improve classroom efficiency and productivity; and help teachers meet the varied needs of all students.
​
At Elmwood Franklin, we don’t just teach our students to use technology; we empower our students to use technology to learn. From digital literacy to digital citizenship, our technology curriculum covers more than how to use a certain device or program to include how to use it properly, effectively, and safely. Multi-media applications are used regularly for learning and for demonstrating learning. Basic computer science concepts are also incorporated, using age-appropriate tools for coding and robotics.​
Technology highlights:
  • iPads available to all classrooms
  • 1:1 iPad program starting in fourth grade
  • Dedicated technology instruction in all grades
  • Coding and robotics instruction in grades 1-8
  • Smartboards in most classrooms
  • Laptops available to all classrooms
  • Two Mac labs
  • 3D printers
  • 3D scanner
  • e-book lending library
