M F' ng ernmng Biz Data processing ln the math and science depart- ments began not only the origin of the computers, but the beginning of their use at Skyline. Since computers were developed and then offered to schools, math teachers began to see the merging of computer skills and cur- riculums early. The computer classes that were offered branched out from the math departments, and some teachers, such as Mr. Malcolm Orton, and Mr. Don Specht, began teaching them. Many math and science teachers have taken computer programming classes. Mr. James Hanson has taken classes in Pascal, Basic, and Fortran language. Mr. Specht has taken many computer classes over the last twenty- five years. A second, open lab located in the math office was set up to be used mainly for word processing by the other Mr. Malcolm Orton assists Bea Moreno with a glitch in her program. classes established departments, such as language arts, and social studies. To obtain use of this lab, students were required to have a computer pass which was issued by Mr. Orton. The need for the new lab second semester came about when word processing was introduced to all the students enrolled in a language arts composition class. Curriculums of math and science were changed very little, but computers were still used by teachers to lessen the amount of work in tutorial ways, and to enhance certain assignments, and of course they were still being used for computer-graded tests and quizzes. As far as computers being used in math and science classes next year, said Mr. Specht, l plan to use the computer to teach basic programming in the math classes until more software is obtained in the field of secondary math. Mr. Hanson said that he planned to use the computer, To help special students, and to emphasize supplemental areas of study. 1 Q 4 .srss r.r i if miie s ig --if Pascal is a language used primarily for science and engineering.
