The
use of technology by students and teachers is a priority at
Tallwood. We provide on-going staff training for technology
integration in the Computer lab and in the
classroom.
Every
classrooom at Tallwood is equipped with at least one Compaq
IBM-compatible computer. In addition, our Computer Resource
Center (CRC) has 29 student stations and well as a teacher
statinon and a multimedia projection station. Each Compaq
computer is equipped with Internet access through the school's
network. Every class from Grades K-4 has a scheduled biweekly
40-minute lab time. Fifth graders visit the CRC for a 40
minutes lesson on a weekly basis. Teachers may also sign their
classes up for additional "OPEN" lab
times.
Teachers
in grades K-5 continually integrate the use of technology with
their core subject area curicula. The continuous enhancement
and improvement of technology skills is an on-going process
that we pursue in order to ensure that Tallwood students and
teachers are proficient in the area of
technology.
Here is a

utilize at Tallwood.
