There is excitement in the computer lab! We have 18 brand new computers for students to use. The students are getting used to using Windows 7 and Office 2010 and doing fun things faster than before! Fifth through eighth grade students have been using Pixton, our comic strip creation software. Fourth grade students have been creating digital storybooks, writing the text and creating illustrations in Microsoft Paint. Third graders are using Microsoft Publisher to design Zoobooks magazine covers of animals they’ve studied. Second grade has been working on map skills using compass and map activities using our access to the World Book Encyclopedia website. First graders have started their portfolios in PowerPoint. Kindergarteners drew maps of Michigan in KidPix, and the Junior Kindergarteners love using Starfall in the lab. Everbody loves the tech lab!
