The Intranet is a tool that has already become a utility in many companies, much like the telephone. Use it, and you are empowered to accelerate implementing change, to focus on expert information, to customize learning for students, to educate yourself immediately, to get a hold of anyone in the organization. Allow individuals to create their own sites, groups sites, departmental sites, and you build a knowledge environment in which individuals within the organization know who they are talking to, what they represent, and how they fit into the organization. The level of interaction becomes more intelligent and more streamlined to our goals and missions. Subject Area Coordinators or mentors could post model semester plans and lesson plans.
Students can get online help for classes they have difficulty in.
They can form virtual study groups with peers in the same class periods, peers in different class periods, peers in other schools, peers in other school districts, in other states, in other countries. Students would also be able to seek help from their teacher, other teachers, or experts from around the world. Online reference material for writing essays, research reports, or studing for exams would be provided by their instructors. Model papers and exemplary student work submitted in the past would be available. Our students parents have gone on-line as well.
