Digital Learning Applications at Warder Elementary
Warder participates in Jeffco’s EdTech program, providing 1:1 devices for students beginning in first grade. Students learn to care for their devices and practice safe, responsible use through monthly digital citizenship lessons.
Our teachers utilize the latest tools to make learning engaging and meaningful, and our partnership with the Jeffco Public Library provides students with access to an incredible collection of online resources.
Artificial Intelligence
Warder follows Jeffco’s AI guidelines which dictate that students in Kinder-5th grade are not permitted to use AI for school work. However, we also acknowledge the growth of AI as a tool and want our students to be able to engage with it in an ethical and responsible manner when beginning middle school. To that end students attend monthly Digital Citizenship lessons where all tech tools, including AI, are discussed in detail. In addition teachers and staff attend trainings and workshops to be on top of this fast changing field so that our students remain current and informed.

Tech for Ed in Jeffco
Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.
All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.
The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration.
