Gardiners Avenue Tech Enthusiasts Are Mastering Google Apps

January 15, 2025

Gardiners Avenue Elementary School students are learning real-world technology skills, which was the focus of the academic presentation at the Jan. 8 meeting of the Levittown Board of Education.

Students from the Google Applied Digital Skills Club, which meets on Monday mornings before school, shared how they get to be innovative and creative through technology. The club, in its second year, is advised by ENL teacher Erin McCall.

The purpose of the club is to promote creativity, digital literacy and problem-solving. Students have access to their projects through the Google Classroom learning platform and create a digital portofolio as they make projects from the choice board. They shared some of their work this year including animations and comic strips made with Google Slides, and photo journals done in Google Docs.

Participants in the Google Applied Digital Skills Club describe themselves as a "community of innovators." While projects are typically done independently, students worked collaboratively in helping each other learn the tools and capabilities of the different programs.
