Technology Literacy by Eighth Grade

We use The Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Students as a guide to integrate technology into the essential curriculum.  Students use a variety of programs including Microsoft Office programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel.  Students also have access to websites that provide additional support for essential curriculum skills.  Students work on a variety of technology projects with our computer lab facilitator, Mrs. Gaume, on a weekly basics.  Barnhart also has a Title 1 Technology Teacher, Mrs. Rooney, who works with teachers and students to strengthen student achievement through the use of technology in the classroom.

SMART school

The 2010-2011 school year marks the third year of teaching with SMART technology at C. Paul Barnhart Elementary.  Both students and teachers are learning how powerful the use of a SMART board can be in the classroom.
