An unintended result of this service has been a public relations bonanza for the schools. In north central Oregon, the OPEN connection has brought the technology revolution to our community, changing the way we teach, the way our children learn, and the way we learn. It has done this by instantly connecting our area to the world of information. The North Central ESD intends to serve as the technology leader for our area. We are planning intensive teacher and staff training programs.
Distance learning with two-way voice and video is on the agenda.
We have a Web page ready to go. And thank you to all of our friends at the other ESDs who have helped make OPEN a reality for us and for our community.
