Averill Elementary School is unique across Lansing School District in being able to offer students access to computer technology to supplement their coursework.  The media center contains 20 state of the art personal computers.

Suited to the learning styles of many children, this approach enhances learning and provides students with early access to critical technology skills needed for success.  Some of the many resources available online are below:

Students can access Spelling City online to learn their spelling and vocabulary words in a fun way through games and drills.  Teachers can also assess each student's individual progress to help customize their learning experience.

Students can practice their math skills and earn virtual rewards using IXL math to practice skills and help teachers to individually assess each student's unique progress.  Students receive certificates of achievement for the amount of time spent practicing as well as the number of correct problems.

TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of animated, talking picture books which teach young children the joys of reading in a format they'll love. So children have access to not only all the printed books in the media center library, but also the expanded range of books available through this online resource.
