Technology at Forest North
Mission Statement
Students and staff at Forest North Elementary will be using
TECHNOLOGY to transform
educational practices in a manner that supports purposeful problem-solving,
performance-based assessment practices, and experiential learning. This will be
done in such a way that alignment to the curriculum is maintained, learning is
made increasingly relevant, students are authentically engaged, critical
thinking is required, and the 21st century skills and state technology TEKS are
realized.

Resources
Our campus is a completely wireless campus! We currently have
one 25 station PC computer lab equipped with a Promethean interactive whiteboard
that is available for scheduling, and five wireless laptop carts that are
assigned one per grade level. Each grade level is also assigned a media cart
equipped with a laptop, LCD projector, Promethean ActivSlate, and document
camera. Additionally, we have a good supply of digital still cameras and digital
video cameras for both students and staff to use. Students have access to a wide
array of software titles ranging from Microsoft Office 2007, Photo Story and
MovieMaker to Frames and Lego Robotics software.
