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.

Free Rice and MLTI

Jeff Mao [jeff.mao@maine.gov] is the State Tech Director from Maine - he has asked his SETDA friends to spread the work on this event:
-------
This Thursday, 1000 middle and high school students and teachers in Maine will gather at the University of Maine for the 7th Annual MLTI Student Conference.

As part of the day, we will try and help feed the hungry and increase awareness of global hunger in coordination with the World Food Programme and the FreeRice.com web site.

We would love to have students join us from around the globe!
