Welcome to The Computer Exploratory at Pueblo Middle School

Name Team

Welcome to the Computer Exploratory for 2008-2009. You will be learning skills in class that you can use in other classes and throughout your life. We will be working on new Dell 745s running Windows XP. I will do my best to teach in an interesting and caring way, and in return expect you to participate in class to the best of your ability. There are six rules to observe in this classroom. Being a student for many years now, you know the kind of behavior that is acceptable.
