Parent Technology Resources

Our instructional technology vision here at Piney Grove Middle School is to use classroom technology to engage students in asking questions and choosing tools to facilitate real-world problem solving.

Forsyth County School System has made a considerable investment in technology to help us accomplish our mission. Students are at work with technology every day throughout our building:

• All students will be issued a school chromebook for the 1-1 initiative in Forsyth County Schools.
• Every classroom has a ClearTouch Interactive board that allows teachers to make presentations to engage learners. Students can then manipulate the information on the board or create their own work in order to internalize concepts.
• Teachers have access to wireless microphones, document cameras, and web cameras to capture their learning experiences throughout the day and to connect with other classrooms around the world through Microsoft Teams sessions.

At any given time in our building, students might be researching a topic on the Internet, creating a digital movie or digital presentation in lieu of a written report, using an app to practice skills learned in their content area, or collaborating with a classroom or career professional through Microsoft Team sessions.
