Education Desktop

Sponsored by Kan-Ed

Parent! Students (third through sixth grade) at Westmoreland Elementary School, now have an Educational Desktop account powered by Learning Station. Each student has a user name and password to access their desktop through the Internet.

The Empowered Desktop is an innovative statewide portal that consolidates teaching information, educational resources, learning applications and Internet content for students in a single-source Web environment. Kan-ed, a program created by the Kansas Board of Regents, provides the Empowered Desktop to all Kansas schools.

In their Learning Station they have Nettrekker; a user friendly search engine designed just for students, World Book Online, Homework Kansas, 4 Kids, Yahoo news, NASA photo of the day, and much more.

A student tried Homework Kansas at home. She said it was easy to get into and helpful. She didn’t need a Kansas library account because she can get in through her Learning Station.

Another advantage, students may save websites under their bookmark list for school projects.

The students may access their account by clicking on the link below or by going through the www.rockcreekschools.org website.   Have your child show you!
