The goal of the Computer/Technology Skills program at Episcopal Day School is to provide students with the essential knowledge and skills they need to be active learners in a technologically sophisticated environment. The curriculum is a balanced instructional program with continuous progression from preschool through grade five. Students develop skills in the areas of keyboarding, word processing, graphic programs, data analysis with spreadsheets, desktop publishing, information gathering from the internet and the use of multimedia software for presentations. Students are also taught the responsible use and application of technology. Work is done independently and collaboratively as a means of acquiring, integrating and applying technology in a variety of ways. A graduating fifth grader will have all the skills needed to: use a word processor to complete a writing assignment, produce a spreadsheet to display and analyze data, access telecommunications to find information for research purposes, and create a presentation using multimedia software. Our state-of-the-art computer lab was recently updated (2006) with fifteen networked Dell computers with 15" flat panel screens, two color printers, and school-wide access to the Internet. In addition to the lab, there are computers located in every classroom. We remain the leader in computer education for elementary schools throughout the Sandhills.
