7th grade Technology scholars learn how to conduct themselves as digital citizens by learning and practicing proper online etiquette. Scholars will learn about the history of computers, as well as about the development of technology and how they apply to everyday life. Scholars will work through a series of projects that teach them research method strategies while exploring technology. Scholars apply technological knowledge and process to real-world experiences, work individually and in teams to solve problems, design, develop and utilize technological systems, and complete open-ended, problem-based design activities. The scholars consistently work to improve keyboarding, word processing, and digital media skills.  Scholars will begin using Artificial Intelligence (AI). They will understand what AI is and how it works, consider its potential benefits and risks, and learn how to be responsible and ethical users of AI.
