The terminals are uses for many purposes across the curriculum. Math students are allowed the opportunity to perform applications on the computer, this provides a more visual aspect to classes such as geometry. Given certain programs students are able to manipulate figures and see relationships form and change given different variable values. English classes are supplemented by access to the World Wide Web, here students can conduct research on authors and works. The computers are used for word processing as well.
Science classes can be supplements in various ways, mostly for research and supplementary material.
Outside the Academy computers are uses in other ways throughout Central High School. A business lab provides students the opportunity to use spreadsheets and other business and accounting oriented materials. Another lab could be coined the all purpose lab, it is used by students in several different classes for various purposes. At the time that I observed, I viewed students producing Web page resumes. The room was also equipped with a scanning machine and a television, for use in downloading information form other mediums to their own pages.
