 “My goal is to continuously infuse technology across the curriculum, working closely with the other teachers to help students have a broader knowledge and understanding. My belief is that students should excel beyond learning the basic uses of computer programs. Students are taught Word to become better writers; PowerPoint to become better communicators; Publisher to develop awareness and detail; and Excel to become skilled in problem solving. My job is to prepare them with the tools they need to compete in a global society. A continual effort is made to attain compliance with the Technology Standards put forth by the Tennessee Department of Education.” Kim Irvin- Technology Instructor Grades 5-6 Links to internet safety websites http://www.kidscom.com/games/isg/isg.html http://www.bpl.org/kids/Netiquette.htm http://www.fbi.gov/kids/k5th/safety2.htm http://www.4kids.org/safesurf/ http://www.safekids.com/quiz/ Request for Proposals Erate Internal Connections - Due Feb. 6, 2009 Training Carbon Copy File
