Technology plays a vital role in the world of modern communications. In the past year, Bluford has enhanced its communications theme with the addition of a new computer lab, school-wide networking with Internet access in every classroom, digital cameras, web page and desktop publishing software, reading,writing, and math software and laserdiscs, computer display devices, scanners, and other technology chosen to provide our students with the communication skills they'll need. In the Creative Wheel, fifth graders choose among such activities as BBS Texperts, Troubadours, photography or amateur radio. Texperts also explore technology in activities such as web page design. The Troubadours are Bluford's choral group, under the direction of our music teacher.
Troubadours perform at school assemblies and around the county.
Students must audition for a place in the Troubadours. The photography club learns to use digital and film cameras to capture images around the school. Students learn about the art of photography with the assistance of a parent volunteer and a teacher. Along the way, they learn science, geography, math, and people skills. At Bluford, we try to provide a variety of experiences for our students that will prepare them for the world beyond elementary school.
