The Ferry Computer Lab was
established in 1996 as one of the first elementary computer labs in the
Grosse Pointe School System. It is comprised of 30 Dell Optiplex
Pentium 4 computers. There is a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4600 color
printer and a LaserJet 4100 black and white printer. The
lab is equipped with a mounted InFocus Projector, a Hewlett Packard
ScanJet Scanner and a LightSpeed Technologies Amplification System.
The Lab is used extensively by the students of Ferry. Each class spends a total of forty-five minutes in the Lab every week, following block scheduling. Students learn keyboarding, spreadsheets and graphing, paint/drawing techniques, Internet research and word processing as part of the Computer Education Curriculum. All of the software, some 40 programs, are educationally based and provide for the continued technological growth of the students. In the classrooms the students use the laptop-like computers called DreamWriters. During the
summer of 2002, the Ferry Lab was completely refurbished with new
computers and furniture. See
