The last tech class of the year ended as we began – out of the lab in a group discussion.

We started by using emoticons to share our feelings about our tech journey coming to an end.  Some students felt :( and others 8) or :P

Students shared their favorite technology experiences this year:

They also offered suggestions for improvements next year, ranging from school-provided laptops to more time in the lab.

Finally, our conversation turned to summer plans.  We talked about healthy screen time, concerns over cell phone over-usage and non-tech related summer activities.  The 6th grade is planning on an amazing summer outdoors – some activities they’ll be engaged in include:

  • parkour summer camp
  • dog walking
  • swimming
  • playing checkers and other board games
  • tennis
  • ultimate frisbee camp
  • writing letters
  • learning a new language
  • basketball
  • cooking

Thanks everyone for a great year, 7th grade will be even more amazing!
