    In today's society computers have become integrated into virtually all aspects of life and the more knowledge one has about these machines the better. Our technology program offers a fun and stimulating way for students to learn about a wide and diverse range of topics. Our technology lab consists of 35  computers. Each student has access to their own computer. We are networked together with the library. We are also connected to the World Wide Web and are using the web for research.  Our school became wireless! Each classroom has 3 networked computers which are used daily in the classroom.

    We use a variety of web based programs such as Renzulli Learning, Typing Pal, World Book, BrainPop, Study Island,  Rally Words: Essential Vocabulary for Mathematics and Science and World Book Discover. Projects are integrated into the curriculum. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, KidPix and Internet Explorer are used to enhance critical thinking skills.
