Welcome
Students come to technology class once a week. We utilize our Tech Lab time to improve keyboarding habits, word processing skills, further develop language arts and math skills, gather research information, learn how to use spreadsheets and databases, and create multimedia projects.
I often remind my students that when using a computer there is a world of opportunity at their fingertips. Our students can access teacher selected links for fun educational games. Since the Internet is not a totally safe environment, it is very important to monitor what a child is doing while online. Parents, please work with me to help teach your children safe and appropriate Internet behaviors.
It's great to see that you are using this Web site. I hope you find the information and the links on this page helpful. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you!
