Technology in 8th Grade    
Tara Barnhart, Language Arts Teacher 
The eighth grade students are excited about having their own personal computing devices this year! In Language Arts, they have used them as a word processors, conducted internet searches and shared documents via Google docs. The new SMARTBOARD has proven a hit as students are able to review information and test their knowledge interactively on the board. Student desks have been replaced with conference room style tables which allows students to have more space to spread out as well as have "round table" discussions! There is more to come in this "mutual learning" environment!
