Work can be done cooperatively on local class projects or projects with other classes around the world. Every classroom in every school has been wired for Internet access. Providing Internet access to students and staff takes education beyond geographical boundaries and furnishes reference materials that otherwise would not be available to them. Each year, more and more teachers become involved in national and international Internet cooperative learning projects. Many have received recognition in newspapers and magazines.
Internet safety is a top priority in our schools.
We feel our students deserve as safe a learning experience as possible through technology and have taken steps to provide a secure environment with the support of a content filtering system. This system filters objectionable Internet material while maintaining the integrity of the world wide web. Currently, the technology department supports approximately 1500 computers, the majority of which have wide-area network and Internet privileges. The number of computers in our schools is growing daily. The Lauderdale County Technology Department has been recognized as one of the most progressive and innovative rural school districts in the state.
