Computer classes at SCS develop the technology-related skills students need to use both in the classroom and in the outside world. Students in 3rd
thru 7th grade have class for forty-five minutes per week. They focus on keyboarding skills, use of the internet as a research tool, and the development of skills related to application software such as word processing, spreadsheet use, and presentation production.
Third and fourth graders develop their keyboarding skills, safe internet habits, and are introduced to word processing and PowerPoint. Fifth graders improve their word processing skills and explore databases available to Louisiana students. Sixth graders
are exposed to spreadsheets and use a web page editing program to create their own web page. Seventh graders
explore computer history and literacy while applying their knowledge of word processing and PowerPoint to create projects. Occasionally, projects assigned by the classroom teachers in the middle school are completed in the lab.
