TMSA ELEMENTARY

For our older students, our focus in technology is to build on the foundation they received in the primary grades. The students are learning the Microsoft Office Programs of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Publisher, along with Notebook and Audacity. We integrate the programs with their subject matter in their classroom and show the kids how to use technology to enhance their learning and present their work. We gain an in depth understanding of the tools and features in these programs. At TMSA Elementary, we are beginning a voluntary keyboarding program that will encourage the kids to practice keyboarding at home and teach them correct form to enhance their speed and accuracy. This program is vital to helping your children easily use their computers and be able to type reports and projects quickly and accurately...
