E. Teachers regularly make use of the Internet at every grade level as an instructional resource. The district has a network connection directly to the Internet as a result of an affiliation with Nearnet, an Internet provider that is a subdivision of BBN Planet in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Groton School System currently maintains a web site containing links to all of the district schools and to internet resources. All of the teaching and administrative staff have been assigned e-mail addresses. The secondary classrooms of the district are not yet fully equipped but the district's telecommunications plan is rapidly approaching its goal at that level.
Many secondary classrooms have more.
Every middle school has one contemporary computer lab. Four labs are located at Fitch High School. The Music Department at all secondary schools actively integrates computers into instruction in such areas as composition and ensemble background. In 1996, the Groton Schools were recognized by Apple Computer, Inc. as a School District of Distinction, the only district in the state to be so recognized. The district now provides extensive staff training at every level of readiness for its teachers and administrators.
