Ford Computer

Miss Myrtle Ford Honored
The Triad Club, one of the first women's study clubs founded in
Marion, Alabama, met on February 14, 2002 in the newly opened Ford Computer Lab
In the Charlotte G. Lowder
Science Building on the campus of Judson College. Special guest of honor
was Miss Myrtle Ford, whose gift in honor of her sister, Mrs. Carolyn Ford
Perry, made the new facility possible. Members of the Judson Science faculty
were also guests at the event.

The program was presented by Mrs. Martha Williams, Judson
Associate Professor of Business [1966-1998] and wife of Judson Chemistry
Professor Dr. George C. Williams. She demonstrated for the group the Web page
entitled "King
Science Hall Memories" which she constructed using pictures from her own
photo albums. The group enjoyed reminiscing about the "old times" shown in the
pictures. |

The program concluded with a look into the future with a
demonstration by Mrs. Ruth Kastenmayer, Judson Webmaster and Web Applications
Instructor, of some of the ways technology can be used to enhance
instruction.

An important feature of the Ford Computer Lab is the
computer projector mounted in the ceiling which is essential for effective
teaching. The projector makes the instructor's computer screen easily visible
for everyone in the room and allows the instructor to present material, show
Web sites, illustrate how to use software, and perform demonstrations.
|
After the formal presentation, the members and guests were
invited to "surf the Web." Miss Ford was a very enthusiastic participant in
this process and learned how to use a mouse to navigate the Web.
