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.

Do you take pictures on your smart phone?

I do!
I love to take pictures and I love to upload pictures to Facebook or email them to friends! I had no idea how much information I was transmitting out to everyone! Check out this news report, taken from YouTube:

What to do in your spare time? Try Blogging!

Recently I found this blog: Etiole: The Teen Tech Dude and thought of all my students... If he can do it... why can't you?

"Monik Pamecha, who is currently in his 9th grade and is a passionate blogger. His first love was his computer at the age of 2 and a half and now at the age of 13 1/2 he loves writing PHP and creating Web Applications and websites. He is a Entrepreneur and a amateur Photographer. He’s also Interested in Sports, and plays Soccer, Table Tennis."

He has great advice and I love that his personality clearly comes through in his writing!
