As a general rule, for children's use, computers in primary schools are
used for:
Word Processing
Desktop Publishing
Educational Games and
Accessing the Internet (email etc).
For Teachers' use they are used as above with the addition of assessment
and reporting.
For clerical staff there is OASIS on the novel network and OASIS Library
for the Librarian.
The teachers should all have completed the TILT course.
Stay well and happy
