Under the direction of the science specialist, children are provided with many hands-on learning experiences including field trips and gardening. The technology lab, known as the Mouse Pad, contains twenty-eight Power Macintosh computers connected with an ethernet network to a PowerPC fileserver. Here, the use of technology as a tool for furthering learning and enhancing the curriculum is emphasized. A technology specialist leads this program. Our Kindergarten classes have several computers with access to a wide variety of educational software.
Printers are available in all classrooms.
Students use these computers throughout the day. Each class is scheduled for a session in the technology lab at least once each week with the focus being competency in technology skills. Teachers and specialists meet regularly to plan the integration of science and technology into the curriculum.
