This year we are trying to fulfill our plan for 5-7 computers in each classroom at Springer. Over the last few months, we have had generous donations of new and used Macs from the PTA, individuals, and corporations. This has put us within reach of our goal. The technology program integrates regular computer use into the Springer curriculum, especially in the language development area.
Students learn phonics-based touch typing and other computer skills in first grade.
Later they use computer technology in writing labs, CD-ROM and World Wide Web based research, yearbook production, and sending email to pen pals around the world. Computers have become part of the everyday educational program.
