Melanie Conley was sitting at her desk Tuesday, hard at work on a project about the life processes of plants. “I love working on the computer,” Melanie said, nearly jumping with excitement. Melanie and her classmates moved with ease through Microsoft PowerPoint, making elaborate slide shows complete with illustrations and photographs, animated text, and even voice recordings and videos. The project was part of the classroom’s efforts to increase technology in all areas of the curriculum, a task made easier this year for the class, and another at Mount Pleasant Elementary School, thanks to a $90,000 grant from Dell and Vermont nonprofit Digital Wish.
