The technology site contains helpful information for students and teachers.  This site is arranged topically according to software commonly used in school labs.

Many computers use Open Office software. A site has been prepared for students and teachers with useful handouts and help sheets about using Open Office in the lab.  You can find these documents at http://porter.ptsc.k12.in.us/technology/StarOffice/

While Microsoft Office and many commercial programs are used in the Porter Township Schools, we are always looking for ways to provide students with affordable and useful software.  We are committed to helping students find ways to use computers productivily and economically.  Many excellent software packages are available on the Internet which are sponsored by not-for-profit groups committed to lessening the "digital divide" and providing useful software to entire cyber community.

Below are some links which will lead you to find some very useful websites where you can download software which will help students use computers productivily.
