We have networked color printers in every classroom and lab. Additionally, each classroom is equipped with a wall-mounted monitor that functions to display VCR, cable and computer video. Overland Park has the technology necessary to broadcast live video to every classroom. Each morning students do live video broadcasts, beaming news and announcements to each class. Additional equipment includes science probes to measure temperature, light and motion via the computer, digital cameras and video equipment,and scanners.
Software is accessed through a CD ROM tower and file server.
All stations have internet access, the Microsoft Office package and are networked to a full complement of educational software. All the Right Type are programs students use every day. In addition, we will be implementing Passkey software in the next few months. Our learning is consistently supported by creative, open-ended software that allows students to express themselves in a dynamic manner, reaching out to the world to bring resources into the classroom that have never before been available. You are invited to stop by and see our students in action with our phenomenal technology system.
