Technology & Learning Innovation

Through innovative instructional practices we promote future-ready learning with the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE) Standards.

• FDR alignment of ISTE Standards with CCSS & NGSS
• FDR hard technology skills scope and sequence

Earning the Common Sense School badge is a symbol of FDR's dedication to helping students think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate.

• LEARN by providing professional learning opportunities to educators.
• DO by implementing school-wide digital citizenship through student instruction and family outreach.
• REFLECT on how becoming a Common Sense School has had an impact on your school community.

In 2017-18 our Middle and High School makerspace called "FabLab", gained full recognition as a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Fabrication Lab (Fab Lab). FDR MIT FAB LAB SITE

"Fab Lab" is an abbreviation for Fabrication Laboratory, a group of off-the-shelf, industrial-grade fabrication and electronics tools, wrapped in open-source software and programs. Fab Labs give users around the world the ability to locally conceptualize, design, develop, fabricate, and test almost anything. The engineering capability for design and fabrication at micron length and microsecond time-scales opens up numerous possibilities for innovative solutions to common problems. Since local communities foster this innovation, it can lead to sustainable solutions.

The FabLab at Colegio Roosevelt is a hot spot for students who pursue their passion for learning and come to work on their personal projects as well as for Design students who are prototyping specific, creative projects. It is a space where students explore, design, collaborate, solve problems, and more! See for yourself!
