The 21st Century Learning Environment means redesigning the curriculum; incorporating essential skills like cooperative learning, creative problem solving, and developing community responsibility. Designing methods for effectively integrating technology into the teaching and learning processes will deepen and enhance students’ learning. The Academic Content Standards currently used by schools will be revised and benchmarked to international standards. Students will be challenged to think entrepreneurially, problem solve, take risks, work together, and explore knowledge within the context of the world around them. Content will model the Framework for 21st Learning created by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills as presented below.
Core Subjects
English, reading or language arts
World languages
Arts
Mathematics
Economics
Science
Geography
History
Government and civics
21st Century Themes
Global awareness
Financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy
Civic literacy
Health literacy
Learning and Innovation Skills
Creativity and innovation skills
Critical thinking and problem solving skills
Communication and
collaboration skills
Information, Media and Technology Skills
Information literacy
Media literacy

Leadership and responsibility
The classroom and school building, in a student-centered 21st century learning environment, are transformed into nurturing, exciting and stimulating spaces. A student-centered learning environment is a space where diversity is celebrated and students feel safe to be themselves free of bullying and violence. Students are highly motivated to meet high expectations established by educators. The educators in student-centered 21st century learning environments work collaboratively to think, learn, grow and lead as professionals.

A = x + y + z
If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
- Albert Einstein

Elementary Computer Lab Expectations
We will be working online often - don't over-react to the 'pop-up' advertising. It is just part of the internet experience
Ignore extra papers from the printer- teachers print too.
We use recycled paper when possible
If you want to print, ask first! Then we print only the needed information ONE time.
Respect copyrights of the web page writers. Respect privacy of your fellow students and teachers.
Help each other, but don't take over their mouse
Be aware of the noise level. It sometimes gets loud in here!
Stay 'on task' - only go to the assigned sites for the day.
If you need a pencil, many are in the 'lost and found' area. Do not take them out of the room (unless it is one you left yourself.)
Use recycled paper by the printer for scratch paper.
