BES Technology
Resources & Learning Labs
One of the strong points of Benton Elementary is that throughout our curriculum we have integrated technology in the learning process. We are fortunate to house two computer labs. The 2008-2009 school year brings with it new computers for both labs in our building giving students access to the latest technology. We have also added a "mini-lab" for additional instructional opportunities for the classroom teacher. The students use the Compass Learning system. They use Word for their writing projects. They are also introduced to Paint, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher, and Type to Learn. With a signed Acceptable Use Policy, students are allowed supervised internet access. Every teacher workstation is networked and capable of using our Accelerated Reading and Accelerated Math programs. They also have access to email and Internet. All of our students attend four 30 minute sessions in the labs each week. Ms. Tammy and Mr. Kent work closely with the teachers in correlating lessons.
