As the student's confidence increases, so does their learning !
We use old & new technology in our room to help us learn. We offer our students a variety of
older, hand-me-down computers to learn on. We have 2 ancient PC's, 3 very old Macs, and a
newer I-Mac computer for them to work on, every day. We have a variety of software programs
and games that teach them how to use the computer's mouse and the keyboard first. Some of
these game links are listed below. As our student's skills and abilities increase, they can move
up to CD roms and more educational software that will teach them basic reading & math skills.
It is exciting to see the LIGHTS go on, in our students eyes, as they begin to GET it!

To get different results......you sometimes have to do it a different way!
V-Tech Educational Products are very similar to Leap Frog.
The bottom line is, there are many educational tools out there that can teach the skills we all
want our children to have. They are not as expensive as you might think. Check them out!
What a great gift to give your child, a video game that teaches them to read or do math.
