All computers in the Lab have full Internet access, with a wide range of Web-based applications available for all grade levels. Students are able to use the Internet to gather and analyze information,and then use that information to create a presentation. Software and technology integrated programs such as World Literacy Competition day, supports Common Core based curricula. Assessment mechanisms are also available in the Lab, giving teachers additional tools to check student progress in many areas, from comprehension to basic math skills. Internet safety and ethical issues are also addressed.
