What are we doing in the Lab...
At PRE we focus on teaching 21st Century Technology Skills based on the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), the Colorado Standards for Information Literacy, and the Weld County School District Re5J Elementary Technology Standards.
While students are meeting these standards, they are presented a variety of activities which support classroom content in areas such as reading, writing, math, science and social studies. This curriculum integration allows students to apply learned skills into a variety of situations.
