Preschool Computer for grades K3-K4 teaches the students the basic components of the computer. Most of the year for K3 students is spent mastering the correct placement of the hand on the mouse. They accomplish this by using MSPaint to paint color sheets that have been saved on the network. To reinforce what they learned in K3, K4 students start the year by painting the pictures in MSPaint. Then they move on to learning to use basic tools in the internet browser by playing bookmarked learning games found on the web.
Elementary Computer for grades K5-5th uses the following applications: word processing, presentation,
spreadsheet, graphics, clipart, math
and language reinforcement
software, keyboarding,
phonics based typing software, and SAT preparation software.
Lab lessons integrate technology with grade level curriculum by
incorporating the use of the internet while learning
important application skills using
the programs, Microsoft Office 2007 and Student
Writing Center.
The computer lab uses the phonics based typing program, Read,
Write, & Type! to teach keyboarding skills to the 2nd grade students. For reinforcement in keyboarding skills, the lab uses Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for 3rd to 8th graders.
