Technology @ Village...just mousing around!

Technology at Village School is used in innovative and creative ways to enhance our students' learning experiences. Students attend classes in the Technology Center once each week, using a variety of software programs and completing a wide range of projects. The software programs used in the school include Microworlds Robotics EX, Microworlds Jr., Kid Pix 4 , Macromedia Contribute, Neighborhood Map Machine, and many more. In their classrooms, students use desktop and laptop computers to research information, write stories and reports, and enhance and their curriculum.
