Technology | Durham's Computer Lab is state of the art.    
  
         
   

The centerpiece of Durham Technology is the Durham Computer Lab.
The Lab has 28 state of the art Windows XP student workstations and two HP LaserJet printers.
   
   


Some of the applications that we use in our lab to support these technology skills are Type to Learn, Microsoft Office, Kid Works Deluxe, and Kid Pix. In addition we use two internet subscription websites; Learning.com to introduce and support technology learning, and EducationCity.com, a high interest website of games, that reinforce academic skills that need to be mastered at each grade level.

In addition the computer lab reinforces and supports the regular classroom subjects through the use of the Neufeld Math lower and upper grade math applications, Destination Math, the Jump Start programs for Pre-K, Kindergraten, 1st, and 2nd grades, and Treasure Math Storm.

Through such applications as Cross Country USA and Photo Safari USA, which are two simulation truck driving trips to different destinations across the USA, students are able to gain a hands on understanding of important social studies skills.    



  
Every student at Durham, in grades Pre-K through 5th Grade receives 45 minutes each week of direct computer instruction in the Durham Computer Lab.

While in the lab, and depending on the grade level, students are able to learn and practice keyboarding, word processing, spread sheet and graph creation, power point slide show production and access the internet to further support their technology skills and to reinforce their regular classroom studies.
