Our school is also retrofitted with coaxial cabling into all the classrooms. A closed circuit TV broadcasting studio provides the opportunity for students to video broadcast morning news announcements into the classroom. Video production equipment is also available for student projects related to the class curriculum. The concept of teaching and learning with computers is an instructional model that is part of our curriculum in Kindergarten through grade five. This model encourages independent study and cooperative learning that emphasizes higher-order thinking skills and accommodates a wide variety of teaching styles.
Teachers have the opportunity to work with students individually and in small groups.
A technology curriculum was recently purchased created by Tech Works. The scope and sequence which provides an overview of the skills taught is attached. An annual needs assessment is conducted to determine areas for improvement in all areas including integration. The plan to acquire software and technology based educational materials to deliver technology based instructional programs is done on a regular basis throughout the year as teachers develop their units of instruction. The decisions to purchase are made in the spring for the upcoming school year.
