Parents have access to a CD-ROM tower to access selected educational resource materials. Full access to the system will allow parents and their children to access from home, certain district curriculum materials including building library catalogs and research tools. Parents will be able to send e-mail to teachers, and teachers can respond using the same media. The school district has wired all schools' instructional and office locations using local area networks. Each building is connected by telephone lines to a wide area network which allows schools to have full Internet and e-mail access.
Software is server-based allowing access to any computer on the network.
The project is currently implementing its final components. A continuing project evaluation will be conducted to provide feedback to update the total system. Great Valley School District will have a project multi-media presentation available in Spring, 1997. At that time, the district will also accept requests for visitations by contacting Dr. David Morgan, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Great Valley School District, P.O. Box 617, Devault, Pennsylvania, 19432.
