Farmingdale Students Experience the Future of Education

The Farmingdale School District recently immersed elementary school children in a digital-learning activity as part of its commitment to exposing students to new-age technology. Mrs. Bany and Mrs. Quimbay’s classes at Albany Avenue Elementary School used Google Chromebooks provided by the District to solve puzzles and find solutions to digital classroom challenges.

This initiative prepares students to participate in the District’s “One to World” program at Howitt Middle School, in which each child receives his or her own Chromebook. Students use their Chromebooks to learn how to code, create templates for 3-D printing and access virtual education tools. This district-wide program enables students to fully integrate their studies digitally.
