The Journalism class builds the school newspaper The Hornet's Buzz on in house computers and software. This has proved not only a learning opportunity but also an additional method of saving time and money. Teachers continue to use laser disc players and other audiovisual equipment to expose students to current movie and media resources. Students use the video graphics lab in the library to develop multimedia classroom presentations. The English Department and the Information Technology Department have consciously tried to maintain and upgrade department computer equipment.
Teachers use email to communicate with parents.
Students and teachers access the card catalogue and electronic resources from the C-230 computer lab near the English Department. Future Goals Action Plan Upgrade computers in the C-230 lab and other labs to Windows 98. We continue to confront compatibility problems. Upgrade the computer on the mobile cart. Frequently this Window 3.1 system will not handle more current software editions and more complex Internet graphics.
