Niulllav l.l.IiJri:l Processing Teachers and students used com- puters in many ways, whether playing games, doing homework or producing a finished product in a shorter time, a program could be found to accomplish the task. Even teachers were becoming hackers as they adapted to the high tech explosion which has placed personal computers at their disposal in the classroom. - Last summer the Apple Computer Company offered computers to Colo- rado teachers at a state-buy price, enabling many teachers in the district to purchase computers for their home. Ms. Ginny Jones, social studies teacher, was a member of the district wide computer committee and the first teacher to purchase her own computer. She has been a pioneer in encouraging her colleagues to go high tech and keep up with the technology explosion as it affected education. Mrs. Dorotha Ekx, English teacher, has spearheaded the move to word processing in her department. She has written a pilot program incorporating in Bump. classes word processing into the composition curriculum at all levels. The composi- tion classes were scheduled into the newly designed open lab each week for instruction and access to the com- puters. Several English teachers, including Mrs. Ekx, Mrs. Michelle Small, Mrs. Deanna Hebbert, Mrs. Sally Gaddis, and Mr. Steve Owens were assigned supervision of the open lab so that they themselves could enhance l their skills in word processing. Mrs. Ekx and Mrs. Small visited the computer labs at Centaurus High School in Boulder to gather ideas for 4 the use of the computer and word processing in composition classes. Both teachers were excited about the research capabilities of such programs as ERIC and CARL which one day may be available in our school district. ll These programs would make available information from Colorado libraries for use in research papers. Word processing may not'be appropriate to the AP English class according to Mr. Tom Lindsey, instructor. F - ie . ft The basic text used in the programming classes.
