'98 Gateway Pentium III 933 computers with 17" monitors are used in our
classroom. Every computer is networked to the Internet, and four
printers (two color, two black and white). Machines are also networked
to each other which allows us to share clipart CD's. We have a Linux
server in our classroom where students save their work. We have a CD
burner as well as a scanner and digital camera. Software installed on
all student stations include:
Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, Access, Publisher, FrontPage and Explorer
