Technology is really big at Holliday C-2 School.  A computer lab with 16 computers are available for student use.  There are computers in every classroom.  Students know how to use the internet, Athena (library search software), Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, All the Right Type, and Inspiration 6.  Students are using handhelds, too.  


  Students have learned to use the Athena system to check out books and look up information. 
  District newsletter is published each month called the Holliday Happenings and and updates are made to the school web site.

 


Students can tell at a glance if the book they are checking out has a quiz on the Scholastic Reading Counts Program.  Students can see by all the red tape on the book's spines that a great number of books in our library can be found on the quiz on Reading Counts. 

 

 


Students use the Inspiration 6 Software to plan projects and do other activities. 
Students have used it in Technology Class and Library Class.
 It is on the network and may be used in all the classrooms as well. 

 


Students use Microsoft Word beginning in Kindergarten to type their favorite journal entry for the week.  Students in other grades use Word to type up book reports and complete classroom assignments.

 

        Mrs. Mann uses the computer with web cam and projector to  visit with the Pinon Unified School District  in Pinon, Arizona.  The students live on the Nvajo Reservation.  The web cam allowed the studetns to talk and see each other. 


Students use PowerPoint to make presentations, books, and other assignments in Technology, Library, and other classes.  Students have completed a Christmas PowerPoint and author PowerPoint in Library Class.  The Veteran's Day program used PowerPoint to add to the presentation by the 6th and 7th grade class that was presented on the big screen in the auditorium to the student body, visitors, Advisory Council, and School Board


Students in grades 4-8 use All the Right Type to practice keyboarding during Technology class and during Library.  Students practice often.  Teachers have mounted projectors in their classrooms to display the information from their computers to their classroom screen.  Mr. Schoonover uses an Elmo to display work on her screen.
Teachers have been working on adding additional Technology related activities in their classrooms and up-dating the web pages for each classroom.
