Computer Program

Computer Teacher, Mr. Robert Ciullo, BS

I feel that computers are a big part of our lives. We live in a time where students can expand their educational knowledge using computers at home and at school.

Computer Program Objectives:

·        Learning Word Processing Skills

 

·        Navigating Internet Web Sites

 

·        Grade Level Curriculum Knowledge

 

·        Creative & Critical Thinking

 

·        Cooperative Learning

 

Philosophy:

 

My philosophy about computers is to try to expose the students to the 21-century technology that will be a big part of their future education.

Grading:

• Each student will have a portfolio of saved work on the desktop

• Each student should improve from week to week

• Each student assignment should be finished on time

• Each student should come up with creative ideas

• Each student should be able to cooperate and help out others

• Each student should be able to put together graphic, text and sound into a finished project

• Each student should be able to use all the hardware and software properly

Homework:

Students who have computers at home can go to some of the Web sites that Iintroduce in class. They can practice some of the lessons that I teach using the Microsoft Office Products that are available on their own computers.

Connections to Curriculum:

Throughout the year I introduce the students to the following Web sites to connect to the West Bridgewater curriculum.
