Awesome Teamwork Thanks to CSF
Mouse Squad Class Thriving at CMS as Students Support Other Students
A Mouse Squad of students has been supporting students and staff at CMS for the last two years in all areas of technology need. Because of its success, the class is now expanding to provide other technology support at Village Elementary. Funded by the Coronado Schools Foundation (CSF) this nationally recognized program is supervised by Toni Trinidad, Village Computer Lab Teacher, and Jennifer Landry, CMS Mouse Squad teacher. This unique collaboration is bringing student-led computer support to first and second grade students.
Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, two Mouse Squad students come to the Village Lab for about 45 minutes. Mouse Squad leaders support students by helping them understand and use usernames and passwords, navigate learning programs like Ticket to Read, learn to type via Edu-Typing, and gain resources from websites like Starfall.com and abcya.com.
Most importantly, Mouse Squad leaders are helping students understand their user errors in order to cement a clearer understanding of computer navigation. These CMS student tech leaders come to class with official T-shirts and nametags, and get busy teaching our youngest learners. The elementary students are enjoying being able to learn from older, tech-savvy students; while older students enjoy the benefit of added responsibilities and an expanded leadership role beyond their own campus.
