All classrooms at Christian Fellowship School have at least one networked computer with high-speed cable internet. The computers use either the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system or Microsoft Windows 2000. Computer technology is taught beginning in K-5 classes in a well-equipped and constantly maintained lab.Students in Christian Fellowship School enjoy themselves as they learn keyboarding, safe internet usage, benefits of using the internet in the real world, and how to use a digital camera and other technology. In addition, they are taught to use programs such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, picture programs, Kid Pix and various educational games.Funding for the computer lab comes from donations, the PTF, and from recycling old computer print cartridges and old cell phones.Monies received from used printer cartridges and old cell phones have been of great help in purchasing technology related items for the school. One of the latest acquisitions was a projector for the computer classes. This projector has been a tremendous asset to the classes. Other items purchased were computers and computer parts; software for all the students and/or teachers; a black and white laser printer; a color laser printer; and networking equipment.Christian Fellowship students compete to see which class will bring in the most used printer cartridges and cell phones and become eligible for a class party at the end of each semester.The school is very grateful to Maytag in Herrin, Illinois for all the computer donations and to everyone else who has helped to keep the lab and school on the cutting edge in technology. Donations are what makes it possible for Christian Fellowship School in Du Quoin, Illinois to have an up-to-date computer lab and computers in all the classrooms.
