Developing Readers, Writers, and Thinkers

Mr. McEvoy

Welcome!

Welcome to the new Mac Lab!

Yes, we are more than a typing class!

All grades (2nd-5th) are taught everything from PowerPoint presentations to Excel to MS Word to photoshop to computer art. We study the history of the computer as well as contemplate future technologies. And, yes, we do teach keyboarding also.

Here in the computer lab, the goal is to prepare our students to use all available technologies to enhance and further their education.

Class Needs

All headphones are cleaned before each class. All students are required to use hand sanitizer upon entering the classroom. We will continue to keep the computer lab as clean as possible. In order to maintain this level, however, the lab needs donations of Clorox wipes (or equal). As you can well imagine, we go through a lot of these in a hurry!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at mcevoy_r@hcde.org.

Thank you.
