Using digital tools to communicate is an important part of a 21st Century education. At Greenwood, one of the ways students learn this type of communication is through participation in our digital arts classes.
In Grade 7, students are introduced to fundamental digital programs, such as Photoshop. By designing assignments like “Create Your Dream Meal” students learn how to use the tools in this program (and learn a little bit about healthy eating habits!)
The course is designed so students can work at an individual pace. However, when they need expert advice, the teacher is able to provide timely one-on-one support.
Before submitting their completed meal, students use the success criteria for this assignment to self-assess or get feedback from a peer and complete any necessary refinements.

By connecting technology with the process of learning, students engage in a meaningful design experience.
