That's exactly what they do. They're totally non-intimidated. The children aren't the only ones to embrace the world of computers. The lab became a reality after a group of Chapman teachers took a 1995 workshop on building computers. The program was sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin County Library, and the teachers were able to save the school system thousands of dollars by assembling computer components themselves.
Teachers use the lab to supplement regular classroom lessons.
But they've noticed an interesting difference in the children's attitude towards learning with computers. It's sort of a break from the norm. Ammons said the lab's current supply of software is predominantly verbal and language programs. Math programs are on order. A lot of the teachers use the program for simple things, like spelling.
