Offering real life experiences is a goal of ours at J.R. Gerritts Middle School. We encourage our students to become life long learners and develop skills to help them take charge of their own learning and to create their own learning opportunities.
The Computer Applications Department at J.R. Gerritts Middle School is designed to prepare our students for the 21st Century. Students are engaging in technical applications more and more and we strive to make sure our students are ready.
We not only teach the technical abilities, but also the less concrete aspects. We teach our students how to critically think through a task, work in teams collaboratively and how to reach out to the global community using the technology readily available to us.

Copyright Laws

Copyright Laws have been a hot topic of conversation in our classes this week. There are many videos and resources out on the web to help with this discussion, but following is a link to one that I thought was good. It is specifically talking to teachers - but the bit at the end regarding PowerPoint does a good job explaining why you can't use any song/image you want. Even if it is "just for a school project."
