Our 8^th graders learn proficiency in the use of a variety of input devices such as mouse/track pad, keyboard, digital camera, printer, scanner, disk/disc, modem, CD-ROM. Students are taught to perform basic software application functions including, opening an application program and creating, modifying, printing, and saving documents; such programs include: Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In addition to keyboarding and programs students are also taught the differences between analog and digital technology systems. Students are educated on copyright laws and use of digital information and citing sources to include text and images. K-7^th graders utilize SuccessMaker, an educational software program that targets subjects such as Math, Reading, Writing, and Science. This program is self directed and paced. It automatically adjusts to the student’s academic level and has been proven to elevate student subject success.
