From the DCES Web site, users may find information about DCES' academics, special projects, education links, student Web pages, school photos, staff or faculty information and other interesting DCES topics. Penner-Ash finds the school's uniqueness is directly related to the goals of the DCES community. Our Web site is only unique in the sense that Deer Creek has made a commitment to insure every student becomes proficient in technology and fully understands the potential of technology as a tool for learning students are encouraged to use their skills to create and design projects utilizing technology. Penner-Ash works closely with teachers and administrators in teaching and guiding even the elementary students as they create the site. Our students have learned the necessary Internet skills to efficiently access the Internet to research projects, go on virtual field trips and engage in curriculum-related games and simulations.
Kids are naturals when it comes to technology, especially interactive technology.
Students should be given the opportunity to create and present projects utilizing new technology. Our belief is that technology is a wonderful tool for learning in which the possibilities are unlimited. We like to think our students are evolving with technology and the demands of a Twenty-first century workforce.

They put a lot of time and work into creating these sites.
