Congressman Ronnie Shows today held a press conference at Murrah High School in Jackson. This home page is part of the Congressman s ongoing efforts to provide access to him and his office as well as demonstrating his commitment to technology issues. Links to Mississippi institutions, Washington sites, photographs, weekly columns, press releases and even Mississippi recipes can be found on the Shows world wide web site. At the press conference today at Murrah High School in Jackson, the Congressman interacted with students in a computer lab through surfing his new site and learning about an Internet program the students are using called the Cisco Learning Network. I built them for ten years.
Good highways make for commerce and growth.
No student has to be bypassed. When a school is wired to the Internet, access to the world s greatest libraries are available. Students from Magee can work online with students from Paris on a science project, or they can learn about the climate and weather in France. Multi-media presentations are available in the classroom when the Internet is there. Students in Jackson, or Collins or Woodville can chat live with me while I work in Washington.
