Students had the opportunity to have their own computer to do their class work thanks to the PSS federal programs.
The seventh and eighth grade classes will be using their laptops during their computer class and maybe able to take them home to continue their assignment. The laptop will give students tools to create interactive media — to create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music and art — and share their creations on the web.
In addition, the students will learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of using their laptop computers.
The students’ parents were present to witnessed the distribution of the laptops by the school principal, Sr. Ma. Zosima N. Capua, RVM, seventh and eighth grade class adviser Mary Rose Lucero, and school board president Edward C. Maratita Jr.
The laptops were procured as part of the system’s One-Laptop-Per-Child project, using $2.2 million of the federal State Fiscal Stabilization Fund.
Under the PSS’s One-Laptop-Per Child project, middle and high school students in private and public schools are entitled to laptops.
The units are equipped with cameras, WiFi, and touch screens.
The computers are being advertized as a means to boost student learning and performance.
