All classrooms have access to our network with multimedia computers. Internet access has become a reality for us with every computer connected from all classrooms in the building. The Information Center is connected to the network as well.
Students can access the card catalog from their classrooms to look for books available for checkout.
They also have access to the CD ROM tower where there are a variety of CDs to choose from to conduct research. Other uses of the e-mail program include book conferencing, electronic pen pals, and cooperative story writing among groups of students both in school and with students in other DoDDS schools. Students in all grade levels have been working with slide show presentation software such as KidPix and Microsoft PowerPoint. The students start with a blank slide and must add text and graphics, decide on the content, and put in the slide transitions. Many of the students have used these multimedia programs to create reports and have presented them to their classmates.
