The D39 Educational Foundation also awarded $24,808 to all 4 elementary schools. Technology has revolutionized the way students learn and teachers instruct. There has also been emerging research on the benefits of handwriting versus typing and the positive effects it has on learning. Logitech Crayons will help integrate the benefits of handwriting with our current learning environment on I-Pads.
The Logitech Crayon will provide opportunities for enhanced interactivity and engagement for students, foster creativity and critical thinking, collaboration, and promote accessibility and inclusivity for all students. Students will be able to actively participate in lessons using the Logitech Crayon to annotate, draw, and interact with digital content, becoming contributors to their own learning process. They can explore their talents through sketchnoting, digital art and design, as well as use the Logitech Crayon for brainstorming and mind mapping activities. Students will be able to think critically and express their ideas in innovative ways, working together on projects by annotating and editing digital documents, providing real time feedback.
Congratulations to Lauren Wysocke, Christina Rosario, Beth Cummo, and Julie Garry, technology teachers for all 4 elementary schools!
