Northglade Computer Lab

It has been a busy year. We are 19 school days away from summer vacation. We opened our lab this year with new computers and headphones. We saw our Children's House students on almost a daily basis. They built their reading skills by using material from ReadingA-Z.com. We supplemented this in the lab with visits to Starfall.com. Our other students in E1 and E2, came in regular for Enrichment, testing, and scheduled class time. During Enrichment, we used new software that we found at Grey Olltwit's website. Some of his software is for fun and some of it is educational in nature. Our students in grades 2-6 participated in the online Scantron Testing. Tests were taken in Reading and Math.
Classes that scheduled Computer Lab during their class time had the opportunity to utilize technology to support and supplement what was being taught in the classroom. This could be done through teacher supervised research, typing skills, software supportive of reading, math, geography etc. Accelerated Reader and Star Reading Tests were available through the computer lab. Teachers were able to academically assist their students in the Computer Lab with the support of a technology trained paraprofessional. This was an opportunity to relocate the class from the classroom to the computer lab for a 30 minute session of teacher led instruction with technology support.
