Technology Technology at the ELCO Middle School is used to enhance existing curriculum, providing a means for the students to travel and experience life beyond the walls of the school. Teachers are encouraged to integrate technology into their lesson plans through the use of cooperative learning at various computer pods, using one of the mobile projector stations, or visiting one of the two networked, Internet-accessible labs. Students and teachers have access to over 175 computers, ranging from refurbished Classics to PowerMacs. Computers are located in each classroom, several computer pods, unique labs, and are even available for temporary home use. An introduction to the Internet and basic computer skills are provided for each new student at the middle school.
All teachers have their own computer in their room or office.
All these are networked. Each teacher maintains and calculates grades with the Easy Grade Pro system.
