Welcome to Mr. Eatchel's Technology Page!
Teaching 21st century skills to todays students!
Our goal at Cedar Park is to get the most up-to-date technology into the hands of our students. Technology offers relevant and engaging opportunities for student learning. Students learn new ways to create, communicate, problem solve and collaborate using 21st century skills. Students have easy access to computers throughout the school. Interactive boards, LCD projectors, wireless laptops, digital cameras and other tools help engage students in the excitement of learning.
Our technology curriculum is based on the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Education Technology Standards. Click the ISTE icon below to see the student standards.

We will also be looking at how to use the grammatical tools available to help us do our best work!
