A local support organization has donated a large CD-ROM library for schools. Many San Juan schools have received grants to expand and enhance their technology programs. The district's technology program and use of the Internet is demonstrated at public displays of the district's school programs. Much of the district's public information has been placed on the district's Internet servers. This information is now available to people moving to the area or considering jobs in the district, or to other school districts interested in information about our district.
Technology is an important part of accomplishing that mission.
With the primary goal of enhancing student learning, in September of 1994 the San Juan Board of Education directed staff to make sure computer labs at every district school had access to the Internet by July of 1995. This mandate will make available an additional 1,600 instructional computers with direct Internet access. Future expansion will focus on campuswide networks with computers in every classroom. The connectivity of the district network will allow for student collaboration among schools worldwide. Experiments are in process using CUSeeMe technology to develop multimedia presentations among sites.
