TECHNOLOGY/COMPUTER LAB
St. Francis of
Assisi School supports an up-to-date and active technology plan
developed and monitored by the SFA Technology Committee. The
technology curriculum has at its focus the integration of technology in
all areas of the school curriculum. The Technology Standards and
Benchmarks are directed and implemented by the Technology Coordinator
with additional implementation by classroom teachers.
St. Francis students
have access to technology in a variety of settings. Each homeroom
classroom has 3 PC stations. Related arts classrooms also have PCs
and are slated for mini-labs as we grow. St. Francis school also
has two computer labs for student instruction. This provides
excellent access for student use of technology. SFA is a networked
building and has direct access to the internet from every station for
teacher directed research/information purposes. Additionally, each
classroom has cable television and scan converter capabilities for large
group instruction.
All students must have written parental
permission on file to use the internet. |

Folder
I have decided that it would be helpful if
students in grades 3-7 would have a technology folder to hold handouts that
are given throughout the year. They don't need to be any specific
color and they don't even need to be new.

Typing
If your child is practicing their typing skills
at home and they are having a "peeking" problem, you might want to try using
Speedskins. Speedskins cover the keys on your keyboard so students can
not peek at the keys, yet they can still comfortably type. This
encourages them to look at the screen, or at the document they are typing
from, to help increase speed and accuracy. For more information or to
order Speedskins, click on the link below.
