2. Our Service Learning
“America Clicks! is a one-on-one computer tutoring
program that works to develop an interest and
competency in technology in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade
elementary school students. Structured as a 10-
week one-on-one tutoring program, America Clicks!
is curriculum based whereas participating
elementary and Bentley students attempt to bring
what they have been studying in their classroom
and digitize it. Elementary school students learn
how they can use technology to further their
learning through the use of the Microsoft Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, the Internet, and grade-specific
software.” – Service Learning Definition
