Technology 
With the help of our Parent-Teacher Organization, we have developed a first-rate technology program. We have a modern computer lab with more than twenty-five computers, a “Smartboard” and educational software design to support the academic needs of our students. New computers are purchased each year as a way to supply classrooms with the technology critical for in-class projects and research. Other features of our technology program include:
- Every classroom has a smartboard, which allow
for students to engage and interact with technology in
a radically different way.
- A school-wide portal, called Edline, that allows teachers
to post descriptions of assignments and tests and record
students’ grades. Using Edline, parents can monitor
students’ academic progress, read classroom newsletters,
check events on the school calendar and receive weekly
school updates from the principal.
- A document camera.
- A digital video camera and
video networking system that allows for video announcements
and our own “SPX
School News.”
- Typing, reading and other
software that is used both in the computer lab as well
as in the classroom to further engage and challenge students.
- A
web camera that allow teachers to participate in distance-based
professional development experiences.
- Ipods designed as
listening aids for students who need extra support in
reading.
Last but not least, a dynamic
and resourceful technology coordinator who assists teachers
in the effective use of technology; works with the administration
and staff to spearhead future technology initiatives; trains
parents in the use of Edline and other elements related
to technology; maintains an active web site designed to provide
teachers and parents with educationally-sound ideas and web
sites; and teaches a class to help middle school students
better understand responsible computer use as well as some
technical aspects of the computer and Internet. |
