Elementary School: Computer and technology education in the elementary school uses the integrated model. Teachers, supported by a technology integration specialist, integrate computer and technology projects in their classes including class blogs.
Middle School: Middle school teachers provide technology instruction in their regular classrooms, and this instruction is supported by exploratory digital tools classes.
