Digital Learning Applications
In an effort to conform to state law mandates and communicate to our families how their child’s information is being shared, Hackberry Hill Elementary staff will openly communicate which technology tools (software, apps, extensions etc.) are being used as learning tools by our students. On this page is a current list of tech tools we plan to use with students. Please contact the Digital Teacher Librarian if you have further questions.
To learn more about these digital learning applications, please contact the digital teacher librarian.

Tech for Ed in Jeffco
Jeffco Public School’s 1:1 program provides first- through 12th-grade students in neighborhood and option schools a district Chromebook. This creates an equitable and sustainable model for technology-enabled classrooms that prepares students to thrive in a connected, digital world in alignment with the Jeffco Thrives Strategic Plan.
All students can access a district-purchased and managed Chromebook to personalize their learning. This closes the digital device divide and addresses the inequities in classrooms to transform learning.
Students in grades K-12 can also access a variety of digital applications and consistent tools that give them opportunities to demonstrate learning in creative and challenging ways. Each of the technology tools supports students as creators, collaborators and innovative problem solvers rather than as consumers of information.
The program also allows for professional development and learning for teachers to use the provided tools and devices to transform student learning experiences. Having consistent tools and opportunities for teacher training allows for more challenging learning and student engagement and deeper technology integration.
