Thanks to the School Board, the Administration, and the PTA, funds have been provided for the purchase of a second set twenty-five laptop computers with wireless networking to be used by the fifth grade classes.  Twenty-three computers will be available with two backups. The computers will be stored on a recharging cart that will move from room to room.

The laptops are to be  used to:

support learning rather than be the end goal itself.
be appropriate for the task at hand.
be used to promote active learning where the students manipulate information within a meaningful task
require reflection by the students about what they are doing.
involve students in tasks they are interested and invested in.
provide tasks that are open-ended and real world in nature
be used within in a social and cooperative setting.
