Technology at Traver
Did you know that our fifth through eighth graders carry iPads? And did you know that third and fourth grade students are 1:1 in their classrooms and 4K-2 are 1:2?
Here at Traver, we have embraced technology and encourage 21st Century thinking skills. Students as early as 4K begin their technology journey by learning how to manipulate a mouse and navigate programs designed for their age. Our computer lab is regularly used to learn how to use computers.
Beginning in fifth grade, students are issued iPads to carry to their classes. Fifth, Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders may take their machines home whenever they'd like. We were one of the first schools in the state that offer this type of program; we are beginning our 10th year! Student iPads are at no additional cost to students, with the exception of a small yearly maintenance fee.
When students leave Traver, they have the skills to use both Mac OS and iOS operating systems. This gives them the advantage of flexibility in whatever operating system they may use in the future.
Many of our classrooms also have interactive whiteboards. We currently have Smart boards and Promethean boards.
We are very proud of our efforts to bring technology into our classrooms!
