Welcome to our 2008-2009 school year!
Our technology goal at Bishop Dunn is to integrate technology across the curriculum by supplementing lessons taught in the classroom with student-created presentations, teacher-created presentations, research utilizing the Internet and children's encyclopedias, and educational software for students to reinforce concepts learned in class. Productivity software will provide students with the opportunity to focus on many different areas including grammar, math skills, social studies, science, geography, vocabulary, writing, spelling, literature, reading, and creativity.
Students in grades K-8 have the opportunity to work on many different productivity software programs including the following: Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, TimeLiner 5.0, Easybook Deluxe, Inspiration, Kidspiration, and Adobe PhotoShop as well as educational software programs.
All students work on keyboarding skills. The keyboarding software program for grades K-2 is Kid Keys and grades 3-8 practice keyboarding skills utilizing Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
Before students can use the Internet, they must return a signed Internet Permission Form. The form describes the rules and regulations for Internet use. Students who don't adhere to these rules will have their internet use and lab priveleges revoked.
