Welcome to the Computer Lab with
Mrs. Malave
Hello. I am the Computer/S.T.E.A.M. Teacher at School #10. This is my 28th year teaching in the Garfield District. I originally taught 5th grade, but then I moved toward Educational Technology after receiving my Master's Degree at Ramapo College. I have now been a Computer/Technology Teacher for 12 years. I enjoy using technology to create and design. I am looking forward to teaching all of my classes in person this year.
-
All K-5 students will receive live computer instruction once a week in the Computer lab.
-
For ½ of the school year, each class will receive Computer S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Education once a week. Some skills the students will learn include engineering, programming/coding, 3D design, and 3D printing.
-
Students are graded using a rubric. The grade is then converted to a percentage that you will find when their work is graded in Teams (for grades 3-5) and also in Realtime (grades K-5). See the Computer Lab Project Rubric
-
Students will be graded on their projects (80%) and participation/skills/effort (20%).
-
Even though class assignments will be posted in Teams for grades 3-5, all work will be completed in the lab.
-
Technology skills are assessed using a standards-based grading system:
