Saint Xavier students become familiar with some of the fascinating software capabilities in the study of computer technology. Grades 2 through 5 are trained in the fundamentals of this science. These tools, and the hands-on experience, combine to prepare a user to approach a task, discern what software will be used, and the knowledge to execute and complete the project.
Grade 6,7 and 8 classes attend the computer room 3 times a week. We intergrate computers with all aspects of the curriculum. Their teachers and with Mrs. Breton, our Computer Resource Coordinator work together on projects with the use of our overhead projector and teaching computer set-up. We have the capabilities to show the students from the teacher computer to the large screen to sending documents and/or website directly to their computers.
The grade 8 class, with the help of Mrs. Breton, produces our school yearbook. Grade 2-5 come into the computer room once a week for computer learning with Mr. Vieira. All of our teachers have the abilitiy to intergrate their curriculum.
