At the Kennedy-Longfellow School, the emphasis on technology transforms learning on a daily basis. Our students are not “consumers” of information. They are “makers” who actively engage in imagining, building, and creating.
All K – 5 students have access to their own classroom-based iPad, loaded with grade-level apps, laptops and a huge array of tools that are available in our MakerSpace. Teachers collaborate with fine arts and technology specialists to create project-based curricula utilizing SmartBoards, digital cameras, Green Screen technology, programming tools and games, digital printers and robotics equipment.
The school also offers after-school classes such as Scratch programming and “Mad Science.”
Combined with a research-based social-emotional curriculum, the school’s approach promotes creativity, flexible thinking and leadership skills. Student-generated service projects are just one example of the way that the “maker” philosophy has empowered our students to express themselves and take ownership of the learning process.
