There are five IBM compatible computer labs: one in the Library, one in the Mertz Science Center, one in the student lounge, one in the Savage Middle School, and one in Russell Hall, allowing students to access the Internet. The system also provides word processing applications and opportunities for NYA students to use electronic mail. Each student has a personal user account, a private space in which to save schoolwork, and a private email account where they may send and receive messages from other students, faculty and the outside world. This technology also provides teachers with educational software to be used in their classes. The majority of classrooms on campus are technology-enhanced, providing teachers with multimedia technology designed to improve the classroom experience of both teachers and students. Each classroom is provided with a data projector as well as a full range of audio/visual equipment.
The computers provide an extraordinary research and study tool for students. It is expected that students will treat this equipment respectfully and appropriately. Failure to do so will result in loss of use privileges and disciplinary consequences.
