    We have been using this project in our homeschool group this year and we are loving it! We are all impressed with the user friendly format! I love that all of the resources are at your fingertips with options to have hard copy or go 100% digital. We opted to print out the passports and travel through the printed out workbook. My 3rd/4th graders enjoy the lessons and what they learn in each project. Thank you for developing such a quality, engaging, user-friendly project based curriculum that works for any group! We can’t wait to dive into more projects and now we all take comfort in knowing that our kids have solid basis for digital citizenship as well as internet research and terminology!

    I was a substitute tutor for a class. The instructions are so clear and easy to use that I was able to jump right into teaching without having to review anything. The students are very enthusiastic and are disappointed when class time is up. They are learning a lot and they enjoy it. Thank you!

FAQ

Have questions? We’re here to help.

View All FAQ

How long does it take to teach a course?

Every course includes a schedule. It lists the time recommended for each assignment. Typically, it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete an assignment depending on the grade level. Based on this time frame, a typical course takes between 360-600 minutes to complete. This is about 6-8 weeks if your students have computer class twice a week. However, if your students have computer class every day, a course can be completed in about 2-3 weeks.

How do I decide which assignments to teach?

You may not have the time to teach an entire TechnoKids course. The good news is that TechnoKids offers flexibility. Many courses can be shortened by omitting assignments or lengthened by including skill reviews and extension activities. You can easily adapt the course to suit your schedule. Refer to the Ideas for Implementation section in the teacher guide for suggestions.

Does the course integrate into other subjects?

TechnoKids courses are inter-disciplinary. This means the lesson plans blend computing skills with general content areas such as language arts, geography, or business studies. If you do not have a dedicated digital literacy class, refer to the Technology Integration Suggestions section in each teacher guide for ideas on how you can include the course in other subject areas.

Is the course a subscription?

Yes. When you purchase a course, you have access to the instructional materials for 12 months. After that time, should you want to continue, you will need to renew the subscription.

Is the course online?

Yes. You must sign into TechnoHub to access the course content from your bookshelf. The teacher guide and student workbook for a course are available online only. However, resources such as assessment tools, handouts, course slides, templates, and samples are downloadable.
