Welcome to Mathews Computer Lab

I want to welcome you to our lab. I can't wait to meet everyone and start our year off together. I will post often to let you know what we are doing in the lab. There may be a time span where I don't post weekly due to maternity leave, but will still try to check in. This blog will also be something you use daily to get to certain websites. If you have any questions please let me know.

The first week of school we will be covering the basic rules of the lab... my expectations of each student. We will also go over some online safety rules and how to stay safe on our computers. The second week we will review the rules, establish our routine and spend this last week on online safety rules and activities.

This is going to be a great year. I wish everyone the best for 2012-2013.
