Pictured below is Workstation #26 (Yes, there are 25 others - one for each student!). This particular station has the computer fixed on the lower left, the keyboard tray which is pulled out, and moved up or down. The mouse tray slides sideways and rotates to the student's desired position. The monitor is under glass and is angled for a perfect direct view and does not obstruct the student's visibility to the front or sides of the classroom. The glare shield is optional and will be set aside during note-taking and writing. With the exception of the computer location (right or left), all workstations are identical.

Pictured below is a view from the front of the large classroom. Every student can check their e-mail or set up a new e-mail account, browse the web using our new high-speed T1 Internet access, utilize their own word processor for résumés, cover letters, personal letters, etc.
