The school has a couple of iMacs that Moore uses as servers, Taber said. Taber has been teaching at Harriet Tubman for 14 years. He took a Hypercard program class his first year there and began noodling around on an Apple IIe, typing up his lesson plans. The AppleShare network is the core of the program, Moore said. Teachers recently started taking attendance over the network.
Students have their own private folders on the network.
The STAR Lab simulates a real research laboratory, Moore said. Taber uses AppleWorks design software with sixth-graders. Each student designs a business card with a logo and personal slogan. Seventh-graders do structural engineering in AppleWorks, Taber said. They build bridges, then model what happens to them when an earthquake strikes.
