  This is an important issue and should be considered in the 
distribution of funds.

Our county started staff development in technology for 
teachers/educators two years ago.  We now have teachers in each school 
trained to provide instruction to their administration/faculty.  A 
majority of the trainers are library media-specialist. A stipend was 
provided to attend the training workshops.

We have learned to wire our own schools(with student assistants)
install and configure networkcards, plus provide hands-on training in 
the areas of: Electronic mail, word processing, spreadsheet, data 
base, surfing the net, multimedia,etc.
