PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of our program is total integration of technology skills into the classroom curriculum. Kindergarten through fifth grade teachers attend weekly classes with their students to provide content support while the computer teacher provides instruction and technical support. Middle school projects are designed by the computer teacher and the grade team. Projects the students begin in the lab can be continued in their classrooms by saving to the network. Each classroom is equipped with four stations and a color deskjet printer for use on projects as well as individual enrichment and/or tutorial work.
The computer labs are equipped with 24 Compaq PC stations with the following components:
- Pentium IV Processor
- 30 GB Hard Drive
- 256 MB RAM
- 3D Video Card
- 48X CDROM
- 1.44 MB Floppy Drive
- Windows XP
- Headphones and Microphone
We also have HP color deskjet printers, HP laserjet printers, HP color scanners, and digital cameras.
