 * //Statement of Current Uses of Technology//**

As a result of the district’s strong commitment to effectively integrating technology with instruction, there are a variety of ways in which teachers use the tools that are available to them. Consider, for example the high school writing program which encourages students to carefully utilize process writing as a method of improving their thinking and writing skills. Final drafts of student writing have been saved to cd-rom with each student creating a “home page” where they place their picture, links to various writings, and biographical information. Another current use of technology involves making the school yearbook, a traditional and static “hard copy” into a multimedia project for students. The digital yearbook, which was created by students and distributed on cd-rom to all students, required that students use Flash, Photoshop, FrontPage, and Dreamweaver software. Additionally, students participate in web quests created by teachers, learn key principals of mathematics on graphing calculators, create websites and class presentations to effectively present curricular information they have mastered, master keyboarding by sixth grade so the mechanics of typing are not a barrier to effectively communicating, conduct science research via e-mailing expert scientists, and participate in various distance learning opportunities made possible by the emergence of the Internet and the digital tools available to students.
