Currently, there are no tech classes for students, but there's ALWAYS tech tools to learn while having fun! Some resources are listed below with the grade level of students who can benefit from reviewing the information with their parent or guardian.
Google Drawings
Kindergarten - 5th Grade
Below is a video to get you started with Google Drawings. You can go to your Google Drive at any time, click the + button, and choose Google Drawings to get your own drawing started. You can also click the Google Draw Tutorial button below to view GIFS (which are kind of like 'repeating videos') to help you with your skills.
Typing Practice
For 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders (1st graders with parent help)
Students can work on 10-finger typing at typing.com. Click "Log in with Google" for full access. If you are a first grader and a parent can help you or a 2nd grader who remembers typing practice from last year, you can get started with your OWN typing.com account, too. See how many lessons you can complete.

Coding Practice on Scratch
For 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders
Coding is not only fun, but helps you be creative while learning all of the details that are happening all the time on your digital devices. Scratch is a program that we've used and learned about these past years, and you can continue to improve your skills and make better and better games, drawings that move, stories, and more!
For all students at Whitehall, check the Tech Google Classroom for specific directions as to how to log in to your Scratch account so that all of your cool coding will be saved!
