Our Internet Learning Centers are equipped with ten or more Pentium-class computers that share the same printer, scanner and digital camera. Fast, reliable access to the Internet is of paramount importance if this equipment is to be used effectively in schools. Schools Online assesses the state of connectivity in each local environment and works with the country's telecom providers and local businesses to provide affordable lease-lines, ISDN and wireless technologies where possible. By creating Internet Learning Centers, we provide the tools students need to collect and share information with their peers everywhere. We take this interaction beyond email by developing and distributing collaborative projects.
Students actually work together over the Internet to solve problems affecting their every day lives.
In addition, we're asking teachers to take steps beyond their traditional experiences in education to identify, use and share their most effective practices to maximize Internet use. Our partners provide the context for the most appropriate professional development in the innovative frontier of Internet education. In conjunction with Schools Online, these partners assess teachers' needs and provide practical, useable information for teachers without technical backgrounds.
