  3. - Integrated Engineering into all subjects - Technology incorporated into all subject areas - All subjects in both languages. Cannon Elementary: A GCISD STEM School

  4. STEM • In GCISD we define STEM -- Science, Technology, Engineering and Math--as a curricular program that integrates the concept of STEM across core content areas and electives where appropriate. Our program has a strong emphasis on engineering and design thinking. • STEM in GCISD provides a rigorous pathway that inspires students to problem solve, innovate, take risks, create, work collaboratively, design, communicate effectively, and take ownership of their learning by making authentic real-world connections through the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across content areas in preparation for future college and career opportunities that will empower them to envision solutions for global issues.

  5. Technology Digital citizenship is a term that describes the appropriate ways that people should act while using digital technology. Parent Resources • NetSmartz • www.netsmartz.org/Parents • Common Sense Media • www.comonsensemedia.org/educators/scope-and-sequence
