Technology

Bryant School likes to consider itself a strong leader in the use of technology as a tool to support student learning.

Technology permeates the building with approximately 50 computers, Internet access from all the rooms and lab, and video conferencing. Applications and software also include the use of word processing, e-mail, Internet, multimedia authoring, science laser programs, and other courseware.

Our students have demonstrated telecommunication and video conferencing with President Clinton on and Vice-President Gore and the President and Prime Minister of Korea and their students. In addition, Teacher Training is given on an ongoing basis.

With leadership from the principal, Larry Alegre, Bryant's Technology Leadership Team model the use of technology for students and other teachers by developing applications/projects that are developmentally appropriate and meaningful.
