The Edison
Middle School
technology
department continues
to grow by leaps and
bounds. The
department strives
to keep Edison up to
date in the fast
paced technology
world. Each school
year both the
technology department
and administrators
make decisions to
update and maintain
all hardware and
software used by the
school. The
department's goal is
to provide the
students with
the most updated
resources so that
they can compete
in our high-tech
environment.
The
department is
responsible for
overseeing the
maintenance of all
computers, helping
teachers with
technology
integration, and
providing courses in
both Keyboarding and
Technology
Applications to all
7th and 8th grade
students. In
addition the
department helps to
create and maintain
the school website
and the Channel 7
information guide.
