Internet and Technology
Neighborhood Christian School's technology program utilizes technology to enhance a strong curriculum base. All Apple/Macintosh computers in the classrooms, computer lab, and office areas, are linked together with an Ethernet network. This provides Local Area Network (LAN) capabilities allowing shared printer resources, file sharing, and data exchange within the campus. Connection to a continuous high-speed DSL line provides school-wide access to the Internet and World Wide Web. Students and faculty are able to tap into the endless supply of information available over the Internet. This information can be accessed, presented, and utilized in a number of formats. In this section you will find:
  • Neighborhood's Technology Layout
  • Internet Safety Tips
  • Contact Person for Donating a Computer
  • Technology Training for Students

Slide shows, multimedia reports, online web chats, email, and many more avenues of implementing this amazing volume of information are at the fingertips of the students and staff at Neighborhood. Students are able to integrate state-of-the-art technology in their learning process. With the website (http://www.NeighborhoodChristian.org) now online, students will be able to publish their work for review by a world-wide audience. Email access to each classroom provides students and staff rapid and constant communication both locally and around the globe.

Make the Internet a Safer Place for Your Children
General Guidelines
  • Never send their full names and addresses or phone numbers to other online users. Because computer communications are anonymous, you never really know who is on the other end of your online communication.
  • Discuss computer rules and online safety precautions before allowing your child to log on.
  • Require students and parents to read and sign acceptable use agreements before students are allowed to go online.
  • Keep computers in public areas. Machines that are tucked away out of site are harder to monitor.
  • Regularly scan your computer for viruses.
  • Periodically check the computer's hard disk for unacceptable files or material. Look for files that end in extensions such as .gif, .jpg, .tiff. Those files are picture files that could contain inappropriate material.
    •
    • Students are not allowed to load their own software or programs on the school computer without the teacher first checking it. (Student software is also a potential source for a virus).
    • When ever possible spend time online with your child.
    • Consider installing a program such as "Cyber Patrol" to block questionable sites.
