Technology Standards

Curriculum integration with technology tools is a goal set by the School 
Department which will prepare our students as life long learners.

At St. Francis of Assisi School, classroom teachers create lesson plans 
that are integrated with technology guidelines. The National Educational 
Technology Standards for Students, in collaboration with the International 
Society of Technology in Education(ISTE) benchmarks have been adopted by 
educational institutions nationwide. It is the standard for the Oakland 
Diocese School Department's Technology Plan and vision. 


Basics skills are taught in the computer lab by Mrs. Armstrong. Classroom 
teachers are accountable for the curriculum taught in the compter lab. 
Computer Skills are taught by Mrs. Armstrong which may include spelling 
words, story starters, book reports, newsletter, and multi-media programs. 
Remember to check back to the class web page for updates on student projects.


The St. Francis of Assisi Student Learning Expectations are addressed in the 
computer lab with technology-based lesson plans. Projects and lesson plans 
are created with State of California Curriculum standards, ISTE student 
standards,  and the Oakland Diocese School Department Curriculum benchmarks 
as objectives.
