Wow, it has been forever since I have written a blog. Hi-Point and a “typical” high school are way different. Here at Hi-Point we get to use our laptops in every class. Each student has a laptop. We usually use the laptop to type notes and sometimes receive emails that contain assignments. This year I have used my computer for more than I have ever used it. At my home school I only used the computer occasionally unless I was scheduled for an online class. At OHP my lab uses our computers everyday because I am in a lab that requires it as part of our curriculum. We learn a lot about technology.

For math instead of having to buy a $40 calculator we have a program for it on our laptop. English class we have used the internet to read books instead of carrying large textbooks around. Most of the classes have all their books online or in a PDF form so all we have to do is have our computer. We use computers a lot which makes OHP completely different from a usual high school. If you like using computers and not carrying books, OHP is great for that!
