The Eagle’s Nest

Paynter Technology Registration  (Complete and return)

            Technology is becoming a greater part of education, but not all students have access to the Internet, word processing, and a working printer at home.   All students have computers and printers available at school – in class and in the library.   Also, the public library has computers and printers for public use.   Those few without home access are encouraged to make use of available public computers. 

            ALL students need to have a USB flash drive.  These are available at the school store for a nominal fee.  This will in most cases allow students to start a project in one place and continue, or print, the document in another.   Please note that when an assignment is due it is the student’s responsibility to turn it in as a hard copy.   Failed technology is not an excuse for late work.  Students need to plan so that major projects do not come down to the wire. 

            Also, both students and parents are asked to check the class website (Department – Language Arts – Paynter – Eng. III or Eng IV) and edublog (link under emails) regularly.  Students are responsible for knowing the content of both sites, especially the current calendar and the daily update.  Those without home access can use the computers in the room before formation, at lunch, or afterschool.  Some assignments, changes, and bonus opportunities are announced through the Eagle’s Nest (edublog) website.   It is best to check daily.
