Technology

Grade level teachers work with the technology coordinator to use technology as a tool to add an additional dimension to classroom learning.  The use of technology is integrated into curriculum to enhance the content of what students are already learning in class.  The result of this collaboration can be to support multiple learning styles, expand research, reinforce learning, synthesize information, and ultimately to infuse the learning process with the ever expanding tools of technology to reach all students.
