We have an early student dismissal time Wednesday afternoons to allow for collaboration, professional development and planning. We have devoted our resources to providing quality instruction in the areas of language arts, math and technology. Several members of our staff have also taken continuing education classes in the technology field. The technical availability in our classrooms continues to grow. At the present time each classroom has at least 4 computers with at least one being an I Mac.
Teachers believe that the hardware and software is user friendly.
Each room is connected to the Internet enabling teachers to create units incorporating and utilizing the World Wide Web. We are also connected to our school districts Intranet, which is used for attendance and our grading system. Other areas that computers are being used are the writing of IEP s, STAR testing, and Accelerated Math. Our Accelerated Reader Program is a further opportunity for the students to use technology. It is being utilized in each classroom in cooperation with a motivational reading incentive game, set up by the librarian.
