Technology is integrated into all classes at Lane Elementary - not just general education classrooms, but specials like Music, P. E,. and Art as well. All general-education classrooms are equipped with SmartBoards and the teachers use them every day. In addition, we offer two fully-equipped Computer Labs, which all classes use on a regular basis during the school week. We also employ mobile laptop carts and iPad carts that teachers can check out for their students to use for work in the classroom.

Students are allowed to bring their own personal electronic devices for use in the classroom for independent reading or research when directed by the teacher. 

We've made great strides in incorporating technology into our classrooms. We believe that if our children are to excel in a fast-changing, global society, we must provide them with the technology resources they need to succeed in a digital age.
