Educational Technology is Growing in E.R.!

 
  Have a Middle School student?  Many teachers keep class information on-line at Edgate

(formerly schoolnotes.com)
 

  Does your son or daughter need a class we don't offer?  It may be available through our connection with e-schoolhouse
 
 

  Concerned about web safety at the schools?  We are too.  That's why we use DansGuardian to filter all of our student workstations' web content.  For more information, visit www.dansguardian.org
 
 
  The Palms have come to Elk Rapids!  In collaboration with TBAISD and funded through the Learning Without Limits program, two of our classrooms are now fully equipped with Palm computers for each student.  Watch here for more information.

New and Exciting!

 

Distance Learning
Through the Interactive TV room at Elk Rapids High School, we now have access to hundreds of virtual field trips for students at any Elk Rapids School.  If you are excited about a virtual field trip, tell your teacher.  Maybe they will use your suggestion!  This link takes you to the ultra-cool Berrien County ISD Site (BCISD is a major leader in Distance Learning in our state and they have done an excellent job sorting through the many Distance Learning opportunities.)  You can also browse options at PacBell's Site.
