Computer Technology

One visit to The Wood Acres School’s outstanding computer lab will demonstrate the school’s commitment to responsible, skill-based, and creative use of state of the art computer technology. Staffed with a Technology Specialist, computer classes are taught to Kindergarten through Fifth Grade students on a weekly basis. Upper School students have technology instruction embedded throughout the academic day.

The lab is also available for individual class project work and research. Skill development in keyboarding and word processing leads to more advanced use of programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Publisher. With adult guidance, students use the Internet for research, armchair travel and data collection. Teaching and learning are enhanced with this powerful teaching tool.

Students also visit the Wood Acres Library, “The Stacks,” to learn how closely intertwined media and technology really are. Students have access to thousands of titles, including Newbery and Caldecott Award winners, as well as informational resources and Spanish titles.
