At Columbia Prep, we realize that survival in today's increasingly technological world depends heavily on one's abilities to handle these machines. Advanced Word-Processing, Spreadsheet, and Database techniques, and using a text editor are considered minimum skills.
Emphasis is placed on Internet research techniques and report creation from online sources.
This year saw the addition of a new course in 3D Animated Graphics . Students can view the teacher's computer, video taped lessons and animated live lectures, complete with stereo sound. Monitors are recessed below the glass-topped desks. This allows students and teacher better eye-contact, and provides for a direct view of the projection screen. The teacher can send a copy of his screen to the class or control a student's computer by remote.
