At Meadowbrook, technology is embedded within our curriculum, used by our teachers as a tool to facilitate learning and taught to our students to foster exploration and discovery. Technology at Meadowbrook is more than just learning computer skills. It is building and then programming robots to perform specific tasks. It is manipulating 3D figures on a screen to promote spatial reasoning. It is creating a website about one of the 50 United States to present to other 4th graders.

Most of our classrooms are equipped with computers, projectors, SMART boards and Internet access. Throughout the Meadowbrook journey, our students develop an increasing comfort with technology using a myriad of resources.

Bee-bots — Beginning in Junior Kindergarten and continuing through 1st grade, our robotics program challenges students to program Bee-bots to move forward, backward, left, and right, developing students' problem-solving, counting, estimating, and sequencing skills.

Mavis Beacon Typing — In 1st grade students are taught traditional typing skills.

Terrapin Logo — Building from the programming skills learned with Bee-bots, 2nd graders employ basic programming commands using Terrapin Logo to create unique shapes and drawings, challenging their logic and mathematical skills.

Lego Mindstorms NXT — The 4th and 5th grades continue with robotics using Lego Mindstorms NXT, combining computer programming with Lego brick-building and motors, sensors, gears, axels, and beams.

GarageBand and Final Cut — Middle school students express their creativity editing movies with Final Cut and mixing music with GarageBand. Students can also record and mix music using Meadowbrook's state-of-the-art music mixing lab.

Computers — Meadowbrook has Mac and PC labs and a 20-laptop cart-to-classroom unit.  Beginning in Junior Kindergarten, students are taught how to use a mouse and keyboard and are introduced to language arts, mathematics, and problem-solving applications.
