Our primary goal is to develop uses for technology at all grade levels so that students use technology as a tool in their learning in a variety of subject areas. Students in the elementary grades use tutorial programs in math, spelling, word recognition, reading comprehension, science, and social studies. In addition, upper elementary students use MicroWorlds, the grandchild of LogoWriter, to learn programming that incorporates music and animation. The use of the word processor contributes substantially to the success of creative writing classes. Keyboarding is addressed in classrooms and in after school sessions.
Several classes publish a newsletter and student created books.
The elementary school has adopted a technology skills list by grade level to insure the regular use of technology by students and teachers. This includes the use of technology by our kindergarten students. Students in the high school use technology to aid learning in many areas. In physics and in chemistry, simulation programs allow students to explore interactions and situations impossible to duplicate in a laboratory. Laboratory tool kits and probes used in conjunction with microcomputers are being used.
