Nottingham
is a school community that understands and is committed to meeting the
technology demands of the 21st Century. It is, therefore, our goal to
insure that, by the end of grade five, each Nottingham
student is proficient in the use of technology as it relates to our
curriculum and the state-mandated Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
(TEKS).
During their time at Nottingham, students will become proficient
in technology skills that will enable them to: create a meaningful
document, create a slide show to illustrate knowledge for use in
reporting and demonstrations, create a word processing document with
illustrations and graphics, create a simple spreadsheet, pie chart, bar
chart, and line chart, as well as create a slide show for presentation.
Grade Level Objectives
The following technology objectives based on the Texas Essential
Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) are fully integrated and applied by students
within all subject matter areas. Objectives are NOT taught in isolation,
but are used in research, skill practice, and product creation in math,
