Tech-Ready and Confident! Grade 7 Wraps Up Summer Tech Camp!

In Week 2 of our Summer Tech Camp, incoming Grade 7 Deaf students leveled up their digital skills—exploring Khan Academy, playing Kahoot, reading with fun tools, and coding with MakeCode Arcade. Confidence unlocked and tech fun continued all week!

We wrapped up Week 2 of our Access Learning Lab’s Summer Tech Camp at Bohol Deaf Academy with proud hearts and excited minds! 

In this final week, students continued growing their tech skills using fun and easy tools on the tablets and laptops. They explored Khan Academy, where they enjoyed fun lessons on reading, math and more—each at their own pace. We also introduced them to Reading Coach (Preview), a helpful reading tool that shows pictures when you click on a word you don’t know—making reading easier and more interesting! 📖✨ 

We brought back Kahoot!—and the students loved it even more! They answered quizzes on cyberbullying, internet safety, and even a tech-readiness test and reading activity. Many students asked for more Kahoots because they were learning and having fun at the same time! 

Our typing activity this week focused on using Microsoft Teams—chatting with the trainer, joining meetings, and practicing how to type well. This helps them get ready for future online classes. 

In their Tech-for-Fun classes, they leveled up their learning with MakeCode Arcade. This week, they focused on the Beginner Skill Map—reading instructions, dragging code blocks, and finishing tasks step-by-step. We were so happy to see some students shine and show real potential in tech—even if they started with little or no laptop experience. 

We're truly proud of how far these future Grade 7 students have come in just two weeks. We saw them become more confident, curious, and excited to learn new things. We can't wait to continue supporting them when the new school year starts on June 22! Here's to more learning, more fun, and more impact through the Access Learning Lab! 💙
