My teachers attended a workshop on how to use the Internet in instruction. Therefore, I don't need to provide any additional staff development about the Internet. The Internet is vast, as is its potential as a learning tool. A single workshop will barely scratch the surface of its usefulness. Teachers and other staff need a variety of opportunities and time to learn about and explore the Internet.

Fact We are not going to tell you that having only one computer is not an obstacle. However, it is not insurmountable.
