The computer lab is a place where students realize the potential of technology to enhance their learning. Come up and visit when you are in our building!
The computer lab at Overton Elementary School contains 27 eMac computers. It is a busy room where students are learning to work in the Macintosh environment. The students are learnng new vocabulary as they become familiar with the components of this operating system.
Throughout the year, students are given the opportunity to use software that reinforces the content of the classroom curriculum. Classses work to create spreadsheets, graphs, graphic organizers, mini-books and documents. Digital photography has also become popular in our school.
Additionally, the younger students are working to strengthen their mouse skills while the third, fourth and fifth grade students work to strengthen their keyboarding skills. We are also fortunate to have a new projection system and interactive white board. This system enables teachers to enrich technology lessons.
Our computer lab is a busy place for students. We welcome parent volunteers to assist the students while in the lab. Volunteers do not need to be computer-literate. What is required is a desire to help the students when following their teacher’s instructions, and to be an extra pair of eyes and hands to assist the teacher.
