Welcome
The computer lab consists of twenty-six iMac student workstations, a teacher workstation, a scanning station and a Promethean interactive whiteboard. Lessons and demonstrations are projected from the teacher station to an overhead projection system, shared directly to the student workstation or taught at the interactive whiteboard. Students in grades two, three, four, and five, visit the computer lab once a week for a 40 minute session. Kindergarten and Grade 1 visit the lab for completion of special projects. Students learn basic technology skills in the lab while working on projects that integrate technology into the different curriculum areas.
Each classroom has two-four Internet connected computers that are used as centers to support the academic curriculum. Students often write and edit writer’s workshop pieces on the computers and engage in research on the Internet in a supervised environment. The computer lab and ten classrooms are equipped with a Promethean interactive whiteboard.
