ST. AUGUSTINE'S TAKES
TECHNOLOGY TO THE NEXT LEVEL
First, a computer lab. Then a mobile laptop
computer cart. Now middle school students at St. Augustine School
in Elkridge are using state-of-the art PC tablets in their
classrooms. The portable, light-weight computers are opening
endless windows of learning opportunities for students in grades
6-8.
Students are currently using the tablets to work in small
groups to create newspapers where students have assumed the roles of
editor, writer, researcher and graphic designer. Students are not
only improving their reading, writing and research skills, but they
are working collaboratively to achieve a goal and expressing
themselves using their creativity and imagination. The students at
St. Augustine’s have also used technology to e-mail letters to
soldiers and the families of fallen war heroes. This cutting-edge
technology allows students to type on a keyboard as well as write
directly on a small screen using a stylus. In addition to providing
many enriching learning experiences for students, the tablets are
holding students’ attention longer, increasing their productivity in
the classroom and making learning fun.
