Technology at Moanalua Elementary

Empowering Our Students for the Future

At Moanalua Elementary, we're committed to preparing our students for a bright future. We believe that technology is a powerful tool that can ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and enhance learning.

How We're Using Technology:

  • Engaging Lessons: Our teachers use technology to bring lessons to life, making learning fun and interactive.
  • Hands-On Learning: Students visit our tech lab to explore a variety of digital tools and skills.
  • Library Adventures: Our library media specialist uses technology to make reading and research more exciting.
  • Personalized Learning: Students meet regularly with Mrs. Gonzalez for tailored technology lessons.

By integrating technology into our curriculum, we're equipping our students with the 21st-century skills they need to succeed.

 

Technology Integration at MES

MES leverages technology daily to enhance teaching and learning across all grade levels. Teachers utilize interactive tools such as Promethean boards and document cameras to facilitate engaging lessons. Students in grades 1-6 have access to individual Chromebook devices, while other grade levels utilize iPads or a combination of both, fostering a one-to-one technology environment.

 

Google Apps for Education (GAFE)

Since 2014, MES has embraced GAFE as a powerful suite of cloud-based tools to support collaborative learning and teaching. Teachers and students actively use Google Drive, Docs, Slides, and Classroom to create, share, and collaborate on projects. This integration of technology prepares students for future academic and professional success, while building strong online learning communities.

For example, last year, a group of 5th-grade students used WeVideo to create a public service announcements. This project not only helped them deepen their understanding of our environment but also developed their digital literacy skills.
