fourth-grade technology class The new fourth-grade technology class was a hit with the students, who were thrilled to take advantage of Rectory’s innovation lab. The class taught the basics, including using Google Suite to find the most effective way to search age-appropriate sites for project research and introduced more advanced concepts, such as creating circuits and developing functional code. Students enjoyed learning about 3D printers and how middle schoolers use the green screen and Mac desktop computers.
