At Marlborough, computers have become a part of daily classroom work as well. The English Department utilizes photo CD ROM software to display specific period images. In the Mathematics Department, students use computers to model mathematical functions and to manipulate geometric shapes. Students on the newspaper and yearbook staffs use one of the networked classrooms for computer-assisted design and layout of their publications through Adobe Pagemaker desktop publishing software. The Fine and Performing Arts Department uses software that allows photography students to work with digital imagining in its Hilary Haight Audio Visual Media Center.
Students can manipulate the images stored on computer disk.
In addition, girls may apply this technology to a variety of applications such as the animation of digitized images, the design or layouts for posters and publications, or the incorporation of sound mixing capabilities with videos. This creative endeavor has resulted from the collaborative efforts of teachers from different departments alongwith the work of students in courses and clubs. Marlborough's history as a technology leader in computer trends will continue the new century progresses. Parents are finding that their daughters are increasingly helping them to understand and access the wealth of information on the Internet. Quite literally, the Marlborough community has the world at its fingertips.
