Computer Education

Computer Education Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Spotswood Public Schools Computer Education Department to develop students' computational and critical thinking skills and show them not only how to use, but how to create new technologies. This knowledge will help prepare students for the 21st century, regardless of their ultimate field of study or occupation.

Through Exploratory Arts at Memorial Middle School, students have the option to explore Computer Science through 21st Century Computer Solutions 6, 7, & 8. In these courses, students will develop computer knowledge and skills they can apply to day-to-day tasks and will also build foundational knowledge and skills needed as they transition to high school.

Computer Education Best Practices

Computer Education teachers at Memorial Middle School consistently apply research-based best practices for effective instruction including, but not limited to, modeling, guided practice, independent practice, discovery learning, cooperative learning, use of manipulatives and tools, scaffolding, differentiated instruction, real-world applications, and technology.
