Computer Lab
Welcome to the Computer Lab. I am Mr. Caldwell and I joined Pinello Elementary in August 2021.
We focus on a variety of activities in the computer lab. Students will be working on internet safety, typing practice, learning to use Google Suite, and introduction to coding. We use a number of different educational sites and games to keep it fun while the students are learning about some of the technology available.
