Educational Technology Curriculum
   

FASSV’s Educational Technology Curriculum - for Kindergarten through 5th grade - is designed to meet or exceed the standards
established in the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), and in the French Brevet Informatique et Internet (B2i). 
Lessons are cumulative and build on previous skills. Each new computer skill is reinforced throughout subsequent projects.
Each project focuses on using computers and software applications to solve problems, communicate information, and conduct
research. Students are given the opportunities to see how each application can be used in a variety of ways in their daily lives.

Standards based on the NETS and B2i
