Some of our favorite technology resources K-3:

Encarta Kids - an electronic encycolpedia from Microsoft

Starfall - A free website to teach children to read. Perfect for kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Contains exciting interactive books and phonics games.

The Carrie Ricker Middle School serves grades 4 through 8. Every classroom is equipted with at leased one desktop PC. In addition, we have a PC lab equipted with 25 HP desktops. We have Mimio Interactive whiteboards with LCD projectors on carts for classroom use.

We are pleased to participate in the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI). Every 7th and 8th grade student gets to use an Apple iBook G4 laptop which is provied by the Maine Department of Education. Grade 6 students have access to 25 Apple iBook G3's. As part of the MLTI program all 7th and 8th grade students have a Studywiz account. Which provides students with an eLocker for back-up off site server file storage.

"Today’s generation of students are digital learners who consider technology central to daily life. The challenge for educators is to engage students in new ways of learning. Studywiz is a powerful learning solution that connects technology with education to enhance teaching and learning for all learning communities".
