Fourth grade students, like third graders are also working on improving their keyboarding skills using the program TypeScout. They are practicing three times a week in their classroom and have the opportunity to continue practicing their skills at home.
Google Docs has been introduced to the 4th graders and will become a regular part of their writing process. Later in the year, students will learn about spreadsheets and how they can help in math and other areas of real life. 4th grade projects in technology come later in the school year.

Spreadsheets - What are they?
Spreadsheets are papers with lines forming rows and columns that organize information. Headings, text and numbers are entered into the boxes which are called cells. A cell is where a row and column intersect. A spreadsheet program like Excel or Numbers can be used to calculate answers like a calculator, produce charts and share information digitally.
