For Cherry Park School and many others in the district, the connection to the world through their computers was delayed until this week. Cabling was installed in the school before Christmas, but the phone company postponed installing the required phone lines twice. Originally the access was scheduled for around Christmas. Then Spring Break. Two schools were done in early April.
Cherry Park is the third.
In a couple of weeks we'll be ready to go. Judy thinks going online is a very good thing. Our primary use if the Internet will be to set up work with other students at sixth grade levels. The students can do some work talking about what it is like in our particular areas climate, geography, industries, political actions. The students will do real time research, contacting authorities in other areas of the world.
