These Internet connections are our best chance at providing our students with an equal access to knowledge. Batesburg-Leesville Middle School already has limited access to the Internet. The Internet is a very valuable tool that helps link rural schools like ours to the world. Batesburg-Leesville Middle School plans to put this new technology to use immediately. Students will use e-mail to communicate with professionals working in their field of interest and to learn about foreign cultures.
Older students can search for information on universities and even apply for scholarships online.
The program started in Greenville, South Carolina last December. NetDay 2000 is the grassroots volunteer effort to get all our nation's K-12 schools wired for the Internet by the year 2000 in an attempt to increase computer literacy.
