In this press release the various components of a well-designed technology system are outlined. The readers, are reminded, however, that the total effect of the technology is greater than the sum of its parts, because of the coordinated efforts. At the heart of each school is the library surrounded by classrooms. Enterprise began its technology venture with the libraries. Each site has a fully computerized library system.
Students can search for books at the six computers in the library or in their classroom.
Each library has networked CD-ROM based encyclopedias, US Atlas, and World Atlas programs. Most of the schools are using Accelerated Reader, a computerized reading program. The child reads a book and takes an on-line test to check comprehension. With our district-wide network in place, we will now be able to open our libraries up to each of the other schools in the district. If one library runs out of a particular title, and it's available at another school library, the student can check it out from their home school.
