MEDIA/LIBRARY FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2026-27

 

 STUDENTS IN GRADES K - 8 HAVE MEDIA CLASSES ONCE A WEEK.

 

MEDIA CLASS IS IMPLEMENTED TO PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR THE EXPECTATIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTAND AND CAN UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY AS A PART OF THEIR EDUCATION.

TECHNOLOGY CHANGES AND EVOLVES AT A VERY FAST PACE. WE AIM TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS CURRENT IN THEIR COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY IN ORDER TO HELP THEM FUNCTION AT AN OPTIMAL LEVEL IN ALL SUBJECTS.

 

THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IS TO FAMILIARIZE THEM WITH GENERAL COMPUTER NAVIGATION TOOLS AND METHODS AS WELL AS TEACHING THEM HOW TO TOUCH TYPE. THE STUDENTS PRACTICE THEIR KEYBOARDING SKILLS THRU THE PROGRAM TYPETASTIC.COM 

 

THE GOAL FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 5- 8 IS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THEIR TYPING SKILLS AND GENERAL COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY. STUDENTS ARE GUIDED THROUGH TOUCH TYPING LESSONS USING THEIR ACCOUNT IN TYPINGCLUB.COM. ASSIGNMENTS AND LESSONS ARE ALSO PROVIDED ON A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS IN GOOGLE EDUCATION, SUCH AS GOOGLE DOCS, GOOGLE SHEETS, GOOGLE SLIDES, AND GOOGLE FORMS.
