With technology already in use in most schools, it is logical that an implementation plan must first try to incorporate and enhance technology currently in use within the System. While these inventories are extensive, certain elements can be identified which are common among all schools. Most classrooms have access to TV, VCR, Videodisc, and one or two Apple II computers. All schools have a computer lab, consisting primarily of Apple II equipment, with some Macintosh and Intel-based equipment. Circulation in the libraries is generally automated, with catalog automation either already accomplished or nearing completion.
All schools utilize the server for library applications.
Two schools also utilize the network in conjunction with Intel-based workstations. In one case, the workstations are installed in a lab context, and in the other case, a workstation is installed in each of the five K and 1st grade classrooms. Most classrooms have access to TV, VCR and Videodisc. Science classrooms and the Media Center contain several CD-ROM equipped machines. All English classrooms have Apple IIe equipment.
