Unit 7:  Computer Tech & Art Combined ​

What happens when you combine Computer Lab with Art Class?  You get Computer Arts, Tech Art, Fun, Fun, Fun.

Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grades
The projects in this unit will let students explore and practice with the apps for learning and creating.  Students will get comfortable with learning reading and math content while creating art digitally, using tablets, computers, or Chromebooks.

​The projects in this unit are going to be used in the next unit when we make a Mobile App.  This unit is designed to get students familiar with the tools we will use to create content for the Mobile App.
