Students
in grades three through six have instruction in the Technology

week for a 45 or 55 minute period. Classroom teachers can also bring
their students into the Technology Center for independent work. All computer
stations are linked to the Internet and there are several software
titles available for all grade levels. (Software titles
targeted for K through 2nd include Thinkin' Science, Carmen Sandiego
Jr. Detective, Bailey's Book House, Thinkin' Things All Around
Fripple Town, Franklin's Reading World, Franklin Learns Math, and
