Technology

 

Welcome to the UMS technology web page! I'm Shirley Sebo, and I've been the computer technologist here since 1999. 

Every classroom at UMS has at least two multimedia computers. In addition, our library and adjoining computer lab have twelve personal computers for student use. The computer lab is also home to our cd tower, scanner, laser printer, cd burner, digital cameras, and video cameras.  All this equipment is available daily for student use. The kids enjoy their lab time during Library, when they have an opportunity to “play” the assortment of educational programs available.  Many kids are quite computer savvy, but for some, this is their first experience with technology, and we try our best to make it an enjoyable one. Computer etiquette and safety are stressed.  For details, click here   

 

 

2ND GRADE KEYBOARDING 

 All second graders spend a portion of the school year learning keyboarding. Thanks to the generosity of our PTO, the lab is equipped with child-sized keyboards, which make it possible for smaller hands to touch type. Hopefully, early instruction will help prevent the development of poor keyboarding habits and "hunt and peck" fingering!

HELP US RECYCLE!

UMS participates in a great print cartridge and cell phone recycling program called  Funding Factory. Send your used cell phones and empty printer cartridges to UMS, and we'll redeem them for new technology for our school. You can also feel good about the part you're  playing in preserving our environment for our most valuable resources - our kids.  Click here to find out more.
