Wecome to St. Mary's Technology Center

St. Mary’s computer lab is housed with 25 student stationed and a newly installed Activeboard. The students are provided with the latest technology to assist them in achieving a higher level of learning, as well as bringing their learning experience to life. The Computer Lab integrates and supports instruction throughout the school's curriculum.

 

Kindergarten through fifth grade students have regularly scheduled computer lab of forty minutes each week. The lab is available for classrooms to use during other times as well.


Let me give you a very brief description of the type of activities we do in technology:

We begin Word Processing, Excel, PowerPoint, Computer Components and Internet safety at the Kindergarten level. I keep their assignments very short. Our Kindergarten students will learn how to find, start and type their name in Microsoft Word.

 

Technology skills are added as the student progresses to the next level.  The children are exposed to software such as, Kidspiration and Inspiration.

 

This lab is an important part of our student's achievement at Saint Mary’s Primary School.  All our K - 5 students have access to the computer lab and many important skills are acquired with its continuous use. Our students are using technology in meaningful ways to help them achieve the standards across the curriculum.
