With this teacher-driven technology, each individual educator is afforded a wide range if choice in determining how the Internet is used in their classroom. Educators can select sites focused on the day's lesson, offer students a wider range of educational Web sites, provide a filtered Research Zone or supervise unrestricted Web access. Teachers have always performed research to prepare curricula, and the Internet is just another tool that provides resources to enhance their lessons. Or use the power of the Learning Zones to choose two or three Web sites for students to review. That's all that's required to provide interactivity and a fun learning environment using this tool.
Nothing really changes, except the breadth of materials.
The Learning Zones screens are specially designed for users with limited or no computer experience and busy, hectic classroom environments. All functions of the Learning Zones are accomplished using only the keyboard and the mouse. The Internet Communications Server enables you to establish shared settings for each individual classroom and lab within your school, matching your existing classroom organization. Both global and individual workstation settings can also be applied simultaneously to your classroom groups. It's all part of the tremendous flexibility offered through this type of solution.
