Technology is very prominent at GMIS.  Each classroom consists of four desktop computers that students use on a daily basis. 

Additional equipment that teachers use with their students includes carts of laptops, digital cameras, projectors, digital video cameras, and an Elmo document camera.  Teachers integrate technology directly into the classroom through lessons, activities, and projects incorporating word processing, Internet research, spreadsheets, and more.

Furthermore, all students in the building receive computer instruction from our full-time computer specialist.  Students attend a forty-five minute computer class once a week for half the school year.  Instruction in the lab builds from year to year so that by the time students move to the Middle School they have learned and practiced skills in computer management (such as creating a folder and saving), computer ethics, keyboarding, word processing, spreadsheets, CD-ROM use, Internet, and PowerPoint multimedia. 

Each project completed in the lab carefully ties directly into what the students are learning in the classroom.  Moreover, teachers have the opportunity to bring their classes down to the instructional computer lab or our second computer lab for additional practice or activities.
