River's
Edge Charter Academy
Because today’s students are multi-media savvy, this elementary
and middle school prides itself on providing an “Education for
the Next Generation.” The charter school’s motto is backed
by some of the best technology in Brevard County public schools. From
laptops to palm pilots, students in grades kindergarten thru 8 use the
latest technology in every aspect of learning. In the primary grades,
every classroom has computers to provide instruction on basic computer
applications as well as two computer labs for students to practice what
they’ve learned. In middle school, students go wireless with technology
as they integrate palm pilots and laptops into daily coursework.
Each 6th and 7th grade student receives on loan a Zire 21 Palm,
a handheld computer, at the beginning of the school year to use
for coursework such as writing assignments, math work and science experiments.
The Learning with Laptops program provides each 8th grade student with
a laptop for the school year to use in classes. This mobile technologies
program is based on research that shows the use of palms and laptops
in the classroom increase test scores and student motivation
Team sports, activities and clubs such as student council, the National
Junior Honor Society, safety patrol, strings, tech squad and the broadcast
team provide a total school experience.
