In this day and age, our students are surrounded by technology in every aspect of their lives. Our goal is to provide them the skills and tools necessary to effectively and safely use technology to benefit their lives and the lives of others. We teach the students to have a safe online presence, and we teach them to use technology responsibly. In all we do, we are Christian, and this includes how and why we use technology.
We have a full computer lab with 28 computers running the latest operating systems for students to use for various software programs, as well as for research and papers. They also utilize Reading Plus, Accelerated Reader, Lexia, and STAR Reading to enhance reading skills. They use STAR Math to enhance math skills as well. Our preschool and pre-k students access Sesame Street learning, and some of the students in those classes are even ready for the phonics work in Lexia!
In addition to our computer lab, we have two class-sets of Chromebooks that students in grades 4-8 use to do research, collaborate on projects, and create presentations. We have two class-sets of Kindle Fire HD Kid’s Tablets as well, which students in grades K-3 use for learning games and enrichment.
Finally, all of our classrooms contain technology in the form of Smart Boards or interactive projectors, which teachers and students use daily in their teaching and learning. We want our students to leave us being confident in their ability to use technology effectively and responsibly in their future.
