 The New Computer Lab! |

Equipped with top of the line computers, multimedia projectors and headsets for a three-dimensional multimedia experience - that is the new state-of-the-art look of the computer laboratory, which is the buzz of the year at Al-Iman School. This jaw-dropping sight of the lab is largely due to a generous grant by the Al-Khoei Foundation and a supporting contribution by the parent body. The new sleek-looking, "space craft" like furniture creates a comfortable, uncluttered workspace that provides for a conducive learning environment. The flat-screen monitors and keyboards fit into the recessed laminated desktop giving a clear view of the instructor while the student sits comfortably at an ergonomically correct station. The tempered, anti-glare glass inset makes viewing the computer screen easy. The computer towers are kept out of the way with two built-in, enclosed computer holders.

But at Al-Iman it is not just about the looks. The new computer teacher, Br. Husain Chahine, is determined to meet this state of the art facility with the quality of instruction. "The most important thing to students at this age is to understand the basics of computer and Microsoft Office (including word, excel, power point), especially high school students", explained Br. Chahin. "Understanding each of these programs is a must when entering college/university.", he added. Br. Chahin also pointed out that he will be covering web site design using HTML and Java Script during the year. |
