Computers

kid using iMacThe Discovery Center School is committed to a philosophy of integrating educational technology meaningfully and contextually into the school's curriculum. Today's technology and information systems provide exceptional opportunities for students and teachers to extend and deepen the learning process. At The Discovery Center School, students not only learn the skills of computer literacy, but also learn to use the power of technology to solve problems, to retrieve and analyze information, and to conduct research. The goal is to integrate the use of computers and technology into as many classes as possible.

The Discovery Center School has a commercial speed DSL connection to the Internet which is accessible from all classrooms and the library via both a wireless and wired 100-Base-T network. CD-ROM equipped iMac technology is included in the classroom and library as well as in our computer lab. The lab is also equipped with thirteen new iMacs, a laser jet printer, and video moviemaking technology.

Students have full access to Internet information from sources around the world. All of the school's computers and resources are available for student use during the school day.

To support the teaching staff, a full-time educational technology resource specialist is available, and regularly scheduled professional development workshops are offered to teaching staff.
