The Computer Science Department consists of four networked labs. Two of these labs are Computer Science Department classrooms to teach the courses listed above. The other two labs are Computer Science Resource Labs that are available for students and staff to use on their free time if a teacher is available. Teachers may reserve these labs for their classes. Lessons are usually team-taught by both the regular classroom teacher and the Computer Science Resource Specialist, Debra Kennedy. Please call and make an appointment with Mrs. Kennedy (440-885-2400) or e-mail (KennedyD@parmacityschools.org) if you would like to see this vibrant program in action.
All of our computers are running Windows XP. They are networked in a Windows 2000 environment. We have four color laser printers and four b/w laser printers, all of which are networked. Other hardware available for students and staff consists of 4 flatbed color scanners, Connectix Cameras for video conferencing, 4 digital cameras, 2 ZipDrives, 4 CD-RW drives, 1 DVD-RW drive, and T1 Internet connections.
