The computers at Benedictine University in Springfield are slow. What I mean is the technology does not measure up to the new technology of the rest of the world. Benedictine University still uses the basic Dell computers, and the school cannot put new programs on the Dell computers. Benedictine cannot afford to buy or receive new computers like a Mac or a PC. Benedictine cannot even mange getting updated software for the computers. The school has Microsoft Word, etc. and Quarke Express. Students want learn new programs on a better quality computer system. A lot of the new technology at Benedictine University has been donated to the school through an annual auction that the school does. The Sister Beata Ball has given the school Smart Board for the Education Department and overhead projectors for each classroom on campus. Unfortunately, students want more than that.
I think the school should raise a fundraiser for new and better technology. Each Department should tell the school what they need to help students learn what technology is out there in the world. Some businesses require future employees to know today's technology. I don't think this school teaches students a lot about new technology. I don't know how to make a video or build a website. I can design a website, but I want learn more than that. The School Board should really look at our computer labs and then compare our labs to other schools. Other schools might have more technology that we need to teach students.
I think students need to rally together and help build a fundraiser for better technology. With time and patience current and future students will learn more.
