 Welcome
to the Philadelphia Police Athletic League's Computer Education web
page. This program is designed to acquaint PAL youth with computer
technology and to provide them with basic computer literacy skills
in a variety of software applications. To learn more about the program
and how to participate, you can contact your local PAL
center.
The PAL computer program is funded through the Comcast Foundation.
The Comcast Foundation generously donates $25,000 a year to the
PAL computer program. With the help of Comcast, PAL has been able
to bring computer technology to PAL youngsters. PAL has a mission
to help children excel in our technology-based world by providing
them with free access to computers and technology education classes.
PAL and Comcast intend for children to gain basic to advanced knowledge
of computer usage, understand career options in technology, as well
as recognize technology's tremendous role in their everyday lives.
This supplemental education program aims to improve the students'
academic performances, enhance their communication abilities, build
their self-esteem and prepare them for bright and successful futures.
Each computer class is taught by a PAL volunteer with a strong interest
in teaching or helping today's youth. The PAL instructors use technology
curriculum created by PAL. Students will receive instruction in
using Microsoft Office™ that will include lessons in word processing,
spreadsheet design and PowerPoint presentations. Other software
applications will also be taught including an image drawing program.
In addition to learning Microsoft Office™ and other software, students
will be taught how to safely use the Internet. They will learn how
to setup a web-based email account and how to search for and use
web-based materials. To add an entertaining component to their instruction,
students will also be directed to various kid-safe games and activities
on the Internet.
