Our Media Center is centrally located and is the focal point of our school. Media specialist helps students work independently on projects as well as check out media materials. He instructs grade levels in the areas of research, literature, electronic searches, Internet use, and software applications.
Our Computer Lab houses 34 Dell Optiplex GX755 desktop systems with flat-panel monitors, along with five additional desktop systems in the Mini-Test Lab. The Media Center contains 16 HP-Compaq desktop systems with flat-panel monitors. Students also have access to a new classroom cart of 35 Lenovo Chromebooks, as well as three classroom carts of Lenovo Netbooks. K-3 classrooms each have a set of four iPads. Every classroom also has a Smart Interactive Whiteboard.
Media and technology resources are essential learning tools that enable students to broaden their knowledge and transfer learning to all subject areas. We are very excited about the ongoing use of technology at Columbus!
