Bob Aycock, Haskell school board president, said the money spent on technology was certainly worth it, though it is a struggle to keep up. I asked him if he thought these students were receiving a better education than the one he received. These kids are studying things now that I didn't see until the seventh and eighth grades. The elementary computer lab is just a part of the school's new technology. Every classroom has two or three computers, at least one of which is connected to the Internet.
Teachers use the Internet and special software to help with reading and other academic deficiencies.
Software has even been developed that can help students who have dyslexia. Each Haskell teacher and faculty member has a computer that is connected to the Internet. All faculty and administrators can quickly communicate via e-mail. The high tech emphasis continues through the high school where PCs are used. We have one computer for every five students.
