Another aspect of Georgialnfo is its links to the federal government. Users can take a virtual tour of the White House and send e-mail to the president. State officials can search and apply for federal grants. One of the most popular sites is the Social Security page, where citizens can request information and new cards. I like it because I can find information that is non-partisan in nature.
Links also exist to schools throughout Georgia that have created their own Web pages.
Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary has a site devoted to their yearlong celebration of the 300th birthday of Georgia founder James Edward Oglethorpe. Photographs of a school assembly show an actor dressed as Oglethorpe. Also pictured is Principal Robert Bluett, who visited England in October 1996 as part of the official Georgia delegation, led by Gov. Zell Miller, to honor Oglethorpe. While Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary had only one computer with Internet access in late 1996, the principal says he expects students to have access at every computer in every classroom in the future. For students who don't have computers at home, the school is involved in a program that allows parents to borrow computers for up to 12 weeks.
