As the students entered the lab for the first time this year, eyes were wide and the computer lab was buzzing with excitement. The Lower School lab was updated this year and the geek in me shed a tear when I first saw our new machines! We got off to a fast start, as usual. All grade levels learned about the parts of a computer and were given an explanation of how our network works here at MPA. Students learned how to turn the computer on/off, log in and navigate the operating system (OSX). Another topic covered was Internet safety and responsible use of a computer.Check out some of the links we visited.
