| Technology
is a valuable educational resource at our school.
There is currently one computer lab, multiple laptop
carts and a distance learning lab. Laptop carts make it
easy for teachers to use computers in their classrooms when
it is inconvenient to go to the computer lab.
Computers are not the
only option available to our students in regards to
technology. The school also has SmartBoards in every
classroom. SmartBoards provide ample opportunity for
teachers to create interactive lessons to teach OSM
students.
The Personal Response
System (PRS) is a wonderful resource that provides teachers
with immediate feedback as to what students know about the
subject being taught. The PRS consists of thirty-two
remote control devices that students can use to select their
responses while viewing multiple choice questions that are projected on
a screen. This is another interactive tool that gets
all students involved in learning.
OSM is very fortunate
to have Mrs. Harris and Mr. Smith to assist
with students' and teachers' needs. Mrs. Harris
is the school's Technology Integration Specialist and is a
valuable resource to teachers when it comes to including
technology in their lessons. Mr. Smith is the
school's Support Specialist and he is a much utilized asset
to our building. He has the enormous responsibility
of installing, maintaining, and repairing computers and
related equipment. |
