Mater Dei Catholic High School makes no specific requirements regarding brand, operating system (i.e., Windows vs. Macintosh), or configuration. The most important question to ask when selecting a computer is what your child will use it for.  Most students at Mater Dei Catholic will use their computers for primary tasks: word processing; Internet searching; using the School’s learning management system called Schoology to access and post assignments, and participate in online discussions; data analysis; and creating multimedia projects.  Media-rich files use much more storage and memory than word-processed documents, and more memory than the baseline is recommended.
