The computer lab at Immaculate Conception School is comprised of eighteen computers, all of which are online via cable modem through Comcast. Updating the computer equipment occurs on a regular basis so that current computer skills can be taught. All grades are able to use the internet for research, to use the scanner for various projects, and to use CDs which enhance topics being studied within the regular classroom. Every effort is made to work closely with the classroom teachers so that any work done in the computer lab enhances and integrates subjects being taught within the regular classroom. At different grade levels, the computer curriculum includes developing knowledge of internet procedures and search methods, word processing and keyboarding skills, computer art and design projects, utilization of graphics and clip art, developing and using databases, creating spreadsheets and graphs, developing multi-media presentations, and web page design. The internet is used on a regular basis by students at Immaculate Conception School for research and educational purposes. Unsupervised browsing, chat rooms, and instant messaging are prohibited, and a filtering device prevents access to internet sites which are inappropriate for school age children.
