Welcome to the H.M.C.R.A Technology Page

Technology at Harvey Milk is woven into each classroom's culture. Instruction is driven by the National Educational Technology Standards, as well as SFUSD's Draft Technology Curriculum Standards. Our guiding philosophy is expressed eloquently by Seymour Papert:

Technological fluency will be valued far less as something needed for the workplace than as a language in which powerful ideas can be expressed.

Grants

We're always seeking alternative sources of funding to implement creative technology curriculum. The following grants were written in early 1998, and awarded over the summer.

• Special thanks to the AOL Foundation for their recent grant of $7300 to fund our Internet Publishing Program. The grant will purchase 2 new computers, a digital camera, a color printer, and software to help our school create a student presence on the internet.
• Special thanks to Sheila Schroeder and Erin Creane from ING Baring Furman Selz for their donation of a 20'x7' modular broker's desk, and 8 comfortable chairs. Classrooms are using these desks to accommodate all the donated computers we've been getting!

Technology Wish List

Our teachers have a Technology Wish List. If you would like to donate or purchase items, please contact Brendan Creane.

• Volunteers to help with web authoring and computer maintenance. Contact bcreane@muse.sfusd.edu if you would like to help us keep our program going.
• Unix/Linux System Administration help.
