In addition, police agencies have conducted locker drug searches using K-9 units for Scott County Middle School. Project Alert is part of the school curriculum. How We Use Technology to Teach To enhance the learning atmosphere at our school, teachers and students use a variety of technology tools. These include simulation programs, Hyperstudio, digital photography, visual mapping, Power Point and laser disc presentations, and tutorial and assessment software. For research, problem-solving, and productivity, students perform searches of the World Wide Web, use word processing, explore graphics programs, and design web pages.
Some students check out laptop computers to complete projects at home.
Library resources are tracked with an automated library catalog. Also, we use technology resources to encourage communication between parents, teachers, and students. Teachers correspond with parents and students by e-mail and post assignments on a homework web site. Featured presenter at the Regional Student Technology Leadership Showcase.
