Computer Instruction/Use
Students
in grades 4-8 have accessible computers in the classroom. Students in grades 5-8
often receive touch-typing instruction in small groups.
Students are also taught the basics of word processing and
spreadsheets on Open Office. These
skills are put to use when students independently use the computer for
various assignments, including Writer’s Workshop, science, social
studies, Spanish, and even math.
Research shows that our youngest TLC students need to spend a minimal time, if any at all, with
“screen” activities (including television, computers, etc.).
Therefore, classrooms with younger students are left intentionally
computer-free.
