Students from Humber Elementary graduate to G.C. Rowe. Because the staff members of the elementary school have begun to teach computer skills to their students, the junior high school will have to adapt to deal with those students when they come into grade seven with some computer skills already learned. The committee members feel strongly that the teacher's role is as indispensable as it ever was. The students and teachers work together in the learning process. Teachers are willing to work with their students to find answers and solutions, thereby reinforcing a lifelong learning atmosphere.
Instruction is more time efficient and varied.
Students' verbal skills and listening skills are enhanced and problem- solving is demonstrated for them. Furthermore, teachers are more apt to exchange ideas and help each other. Gary Perry attributes the success of this program to the planning carried out from the beginning. As a team, they decided what they wanted students to do and carefully set out a plan to achieve that goal. Embedding the use of technology into the core curriculum was the best method of ensuring that all students at G.C. Rowe Junior High would benefit.
