ost students participate in Emma Willard’s laptop initiative and receive a Tablet PC when they first arrive at Emma Willard. The Tablet PCs are outfitted with curriculum-specific software. In addition, each student is encouraged to install her own software.
Students also have access to about 80 public computers located in classrooms and labs across campus. The public labs—equipped with PCs, Macs, and printers—are located in the basement of Slocum Hall and in the Dietel Library.
Student, faculty, and administrative computers are connected to the school’s network, which is secured by a firewall and a web content filter. Dormitory rooms are wired for network access and equipped with a phone. Wireless is available in almost every campus space, including the dormitories. Nearly every member of the faculty is equipped with a laptop or Tablet PC. A highly-skilled team of trained professionals in the Tech Services office provides technical assistance to students and faculty.
