Many classrooms at Grace contain one or more computers for use by the students. These are used in various ways and times by the teacher to help promote certain skills. In addition, students are sent during school hours to the computer lab, as a group or entire class, to do more extensive study, or have some alternative learning time. The computer lab at Grace Christian School has over 30 personal computers, complete with software for a variety of learning experiences. In the younger grades, K-4, the computers are used to reinforce math skills and introduce keyboarding procedures (i.e. use of a mouse, moving through programs and typing in words appropriately). In the 5th grade, keyboarding skills are taught including correct keystrokes for the alphabet and numbers from the home key position. 6th graders are taught Word Processing skills, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint. Recently, the lab was connected to the internet, so more applications will be forthcoming.
