Howard Computer Center

The Howard Computer Center is an innovative resource for Congregation B'nai Israel's students.

The Center houses 10 computers, a large screen TV, and a multitude of creative educational software programs that will capture the hearts and minds of our youngest members.

We are proud of our curriculum used in the early childhood department, which includes keyboarding skills and computer assisted instruction. The Center's Coordinator introduces children to mathematics, science, language, and social studies using the magic of today's technology. Child-friendly games, music, art, films and books complement the use of computer technology to enhance the earliest learning experience.

The Center also provides our older students with access to the Internet and word processing opportunities. The students in our School for Living Judaism use the computer center for educational purposes.  Our Hebrew classes have various software programs, which enable the students to study and practice Hebrew on the computer and through the Internet.  In addition, our Judaic classes use the center for a variety of creative activities including holiday programs, Judaic games and Jewish Internet activities.  Our upper school has learned to use specific Jewish search engines to provide the highest quality of Jewish research and instruction.

In addition, our Confirmation classes, Bar/Bat Mitzvah students and Youth Groups use the computer center to write services, research Jewish information and connect with other Jewish students in Israel and around the world.
