Computer

Welcome to the Computer Lab! 








Now happening in the computer lab 
classes - 
Exploring the Colonial period using interactive websites and an introduction 
to research using online encyclopedias and other sources. 


For the last few weeks 5th graders have been travelling with Lewis and Clark 
on their Voyage of Discovery (and learning how to use video in a power point 
show).   As the year winds down we will be practicing our keyboard skills and 
making an end-of-the-year "How to" movie.


Fifth graders have probably seen more than enough of the computer lab in the 
last several weeks with the new online MAP testing, which will finish up next 
week.


Ask your 6th grader about the new Promethian interactive white boards and data 
projectors in the math and science classrooms!
