Instead of students having to wait for their turn in the computer lab, the technology is located in each classroom. In addition, classrooms have access to 10 to 30 wireless notebook computers that are housed in mobile carts. This combination of traditional desktop systems and access wireless notebooks has helped to explore new technology integration methods, develop more collaborative learning activities between subject areas and enhance relationships between teachers and students. Adelphia Vision 4 broadcasts. Students produce and broadcast the morning announcements each day over the school's two-way video distribution system.
Every classroom has access to the Internet and email.
The computers in each classroom are networked and all schools are connected to a high-speed, fiber optic network that consists of 70 miles of fiber provided by Adelphia Communications, our local cable company.
