We salute Reed-Custer District Technology Director, Mr. Dennis Fisher , who is providing the technology leadership our district needs as we enter the next century. At the present time all four of the buildings in Reed-Custer district are connected by a local area network. Teacher productivity in enhanced by available technology. For example, teachers snap-mail attendance to their building office and lunch counts to the cafeteria.
Administrators notify faculty of daily announcements via snap-mail.
Installation of hardware was part of our district's first technology plan. Each building in the district has more than one computer lab as well as at least one computer in every classroom. The libraries in each building provide AOL for students to use, and we are just beginning to provide online access in libraries and some classrooms using Netscape and Eudora software. These programs are accessed using an account with the Illinois State Board of Education. As the district updates the technology plan, a major emphasis will be placed on staff development.
