Students like the freedom to design projects that meet district and state standards. No one seems to miss the read the book answer the questions way of meeting these same standards. The level of support from administration in the area of technology is moderate. With the funds being drained and earmarked for the Institute for Learning's Blueprint technology is not a major concern. The level of support from parents is high.
Every student now has a computer and Internet access at home.
Parents want their children to become adept in technology and they fully support our efforts. I believe that more monetary support is needed from the District. These examples point to our growing awareness that the new electronic technologies must become part of educational practice. Seminar students need a minimum of five computers all with Internet connections to support classroom activities and learning. Five computers are not enough for 40 kids to access daily.
