Elementary Technology Curriculum
 | The focus of the technology curriculum is on the computer
as a tool to facilitate learning in the subject areas, not as a separate subject. Whenever
possible, teachers integrate computer use with what is being taught in the classroom. For
example, students may create a power point presentation to produce a social studies report
or reinforce math skills through the use of a software program. |
| Following district standards, grade-level objectives
encompassing a variety of skills such as keyboarding, word processing and desktop
publishing are met throughout the year. Teachers select grade appropriate software from
our collection to use in their instruction. The LMC Director collaborates with teachers to
help make technology meaningful for students. |
| Our computer lab is equipped with enough Dell PCs to allow
an entire class to work in the lab together. We also have a color laser printer, black and
white laser printers, a scanner, data projectors, digital cameras and other tools of
technology to help facilitate teaching and learning. The building is fully networked. |
| In addition, all grade levels use Accelerated Reader to
support development of reading and comprehension skills.
