Technology
Recently, we purchased brand new desktop computers. Grades 3-6 classrooms each have 5 new computers for student use. Our computer lab has 10 new computers for the primary grades. This year, our school won the Ultimate Windows Vista Computer Lab Makeover where we received 20 brand new Windows Vista laptops. With recently purchased LCD projectors for our classrooms, the laptops will be utilized for multimedia lessons.
All classrooms are equipped with desktop computers that are under 2
years old. Kindergarten and first grade classrooms have 2 new computers
each while grades 3 through 6 each have five or more new computers for
student use. All teachers utilize laptops with LCD projectors as teaching
tools to instruct students in English language arts, math, science,
history/social studies, and art. In the computer lab, there are ten
recently purchased desktop computers as well as two moblie carts with
laptops. All classrooms and computer labs have access to the internet
on all computers. Intervention and enrichment software is used regularly
during the school day including the reading programs such as Lexia and
Reading Counts. Technology is just part of the teaching tools utilized
by the staff.
