Grade 7 and Grade 8 students, Heximer Public School

As students, we were grateful for the opportunity to have technology of our own. We enjoyed the ComKids program and found it informative, useful, helpful, and we recommend it for everyone!

Thanks to ComKids, as an educator this was a good program that allows students to learn about technology, become informed about technology and the uses, as well they received technology to continue to use these skills throughout the year. Thank you for making this opportunity happen for students!

ComKids has been a great addition to the Grade 7 program in our school division. The skills and knowledge taught to students through the Master Classes are absolutely vital for the well-being of young adolescence/pre-teens today. It was an eye-opening experience for several of my students as it made them realize the huge impact that their online presence can have. Students were also taught how to efficiently navigate a computer and the internet, which is an essential skillset that many young people lack, despite the ever-growing presence of technology in their lives. Lastly, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the program’s ability to allow students to have more equitable access to technology, as it has greatly contributed to leveling the playing field for many of my students.
