The CCSF English Department now has a centralized reading and writing center, The English Lab, in Rosenberg Library 205 (R205), a place where English students at all levels can become stronger writers and readers. The English Lab offers writing and reading tutoring, writing and reading groups and workshops, a wide range of reading workbook activities, and an even wider range of software and Web sites--all designed to make students stronger readers, writers, and critical thinkers. There are also non-computer stations for quiet collaboration and independent study. We strive to provide different ways to interact and different ways to learn, making for a powerful overlap when teachers, students, and tutors understand what is needed and how our lab services, individually and collectively, can address those needs. Use our lab, use our Web resources, and learn more.
English Labs and Technology
The English Lab in R205, where technology and tutoring have found new life!
The English Department also has two electronic classrooms, both loaded with the same programs and Web site shortcuts found on the English Lab's computers. Cyberia, our uber computerized classroom, is located in Arts Extension 265. Our newest classroom, R205e, is actually attached to R205, the English Lab. Both classrooms provide incredible ways for students and teachers to use technology to go deeper into the lab-class relationship. Our work in the lab is very much a part of our work in the class, just as our work in the class is very much a part of our work in the lab.
