Van Buren Local
Schools places tremendous value on technology and how its use
will benefit our staff and students. Over 400 computers
are spread strategically throughout the district. In each
building (Elementary, Middle, and High School) there are at
least two computer labs with 22 or more computers.
Instructors are encouraged to integrate any available technology
into their lessons and students eagerly use the computers to
complete assignments.
Here are some other "Techno-Tidbits"
that one might find interesting:
School website is developed and managed almost entirely
by students in a classroom setting.
Desktop Computer Support, Network Access, Web Hosting,
and E-mail Hosting are managed internally by our full time
Network Administrator.
Extensive use of LCD projectors and other visual
learning tools.
Student e-mail is provided and encouraged as a safe,
filtered, and monitored means of communication.
Web based "Moodle" classrooms. Allows select
activities to be completed on the students own time from any
computer with Internet Access - at school or away.
