Hello, I am Shari Amour, the technology assistant at
Porters
Point School. Some kids call me the computer lady.
I am in charge of maintaining all the computers in the building that includes
hardware and software, as well as all the other technology apparatus in the
school. Each classroom has at least 2 computers and there is also a lab of 6
computers in the library for student and staff use. There are approximately over
350 pieces of educational software for teachers and students to use.
Technology time is allocated during the children’s
Library special. Each week between 6 and 12 children are assigned to a computer
for approximately 20 minutes. During
that time, the children are either playing an educational program, doing a web
quest, practicing a typing program, learning a word processing program or even
learning about a website based on a class theme or a lesson plan. The children
are also taught the safety rules while on the computer or also about the
internet.

PPS participates in a great print
cartridge and cell phone recycling program called Funding Factory.
Send your used cell phones and empty printer cartridges to PPS and we'll redeem
them for new technology for our school. You can also feel good about the part
you're playing in preserving our environment for our most valuable
resources - our kids.
