Mobile Lab
We have the Mobile Lab(22 Dell wireless notebook computers) in our room every week for an hour or so. Students will be working on their typing skills using the program "Type To Learn, Jr." published by the Sunburst Company and will be graduating to "Type To Learn 3". Their progress is tracked and recorded on the school's network so they move along at an individual pace. We will also learn how to access the internet, bookmark an educational/curriculum-based site and navigate that site. Please rest assured that we have a safe and secure network here at Morley. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
