Elementary School's belief statement contains the following sentence:
"We believe our school should begin to prepare students for tomorrow's
world of technology."
This
belief statement is put into effect in the computer lab as we work together
to learn how to utilize the technology we have available. I welcome lesson
plan ideas and input from teachers, parents, and students. Our common
goal is to prepare the students for life beyond elementary school, and
to equip them with knowledge and skills that are necessary in today's world.
If you have suggestions, please email me.
