Along with the de- velopment of the computer career field came the introduction of computer education into our curriculum. With the induction of classes such as Computer Programming and Data Processing, interest in computers continued to grow. But the computer classes were not the only classes to take advantage of the new computers, the typing classes used them also. These new educational machines helped make learning fun for many. Also taking advantage of the new computers were the Industrial Training Lab students. ITL played a vital part in the school curriculum. ITL gives additional help in various areas to many students. Not only did the students learn new com- puter skills, but they also learned ways to improve their academic skills. During class ITL students also learned various vocational skills. Classes such as ITL and Data Processing have equipped students for their futures in the working world. Skills taught in these classes and others like them teach students skills that can be used in their future jobs and their lives at home. Thanks to these classes, students can graduate with even more confidence in themselves and their futures as independent adults. COMPUTER TUTOR.
