Mr. Norwalt assists students in one of his computer courses.
Teachers use technological advances in a variety of contexts at Colina. Colina has four 36- to 38-station classroom desktop computer labs (one owned by Boys and Girls Club but available for Colina students' use during the school day) and three 20-station mobile computer carts. Teachers use computers as tools to enrich lessons in math, science, English, social science and other subjects. Many teachers employ tablet PCs, video visualizers and LCD projectors for multimodal/multisensory lesson presentation. Use of such tools also helps teachers to use classroom time efficiently.
Video visualizers enhance lessons and saves classroom time Three sets of Computers on Wheels (COWs) are used daily on campus

The major funding source for Colina's computers has been the PTSA. A campaign in 2006-07 increased the number of mobile labs
to three, each on a cart of 20 laptops. In 2007-08, another effort, dubbed "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly," resulted in
replacing Colina's outdated and "ugly" computers in student labs. Colina now has 107 speedy desktops among the computer-course
lab, library lab, and science lab. (The adjacent Boys and Girls Club lab shares an additional computer lab with with Colina.)
Software programs include SuccessMaker, Rosetta Stone, the Microsoft Office suite, and various others. All computers include
internet access.
