DuSable Report Jean Baptiste DuSable High School Chicago Illinois May 31st 1995 Findings from telephone and EMail communications over a 2 month period. Most communications were with Bennett Brown, Internet Project Director. Although DuSable has a home page on the WWW, they are limited to only 8 workstations with internet connections. These are all in a single room and this is used as a computer lab where teachers sign-up and bring classes to try various uses for integrating technology into the curriculum.
Teachers use the facility to check EMail between classes.
They believe this will increase when availability of access reaches each classroom. This is expected to happen by the start of next year. In the meantime, various ideas have been employed to interest teachers but with limited success. Two of these ideas including giving teachers business cards if they go through training and another idea involves giving teachers used 286 PCs and modems.
