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.

Games, Games and More Games

Check out the following link to explore some complex, interactive games! The great thing about these games is that playing them is a Win, Win situation for you! You win because you are playing games. Your parents win because you are learning! :)

“Serious Games” are video-style games designed to engage young people with 3D graphics and challenging game play while teaching complex concepts. Many of these games need to be downloaded to your computer; check the minimum specifications before downloading. We have also included some less complex “Online Games” that can be played on most web browsers, in shorter periods of time, and by younger students.
