Classroom technology shares resources with information systems, especially infrastructure. Student and teacher use has surpassed pure IS and the lines are blurred, the domains overlap. Teacher must travel at least several hundred feet to use a telephone, typewriter, mimeograph machine and student folder. Teacher must travel the same several hundred fee for the telephone. Student folder remains the same.
Many teachers have telephones in their classrooms and offices.
Computers are placed within easy access. Copiers are still in the offices, but service is generally fast and reliable. Student folders remain the same. Good decisions are based upon data. The proposed database will provide individual and summary data to teachers, parents and administrators.
