Each classroom has four computers and one printer. The school has one computer lab that contains 28 computers and 4 printers. The classes have a regularly scheduled lab time and visit the lab weekly. The students have a wide variety of software available for their use. The software has been reviewed to ensure that it is appropriate for the grade level and that it corresponds to the Virginia Standards of Learning.
All network computers have Internet access.
Emerick has a Proxy Server which filters out inappropriate material. Additionally, students have been introduced to the proper use of the Internet. The computer lab is used to assist the fifth grade teachers in producing a quality school newspaper. We have instituted another program that motivates students to understand how technology can be a tool for all operations. Students commit, at the beginning of the year, to meet once a week so that they can participate in each special instructional activity.
